Ants In Your House or Business?

Ant infestations can be troublesome for both commercial businesses and homeowners. These tiny pests can cause a range of issues in various settings:

Food Contamination: Most ants are simply a nuisance when they invade your kitchen. For businesses, however, ants can contaminate food and create health and safety concerns.
Hygiene Risk: The Pharoah Ant can transmit over a dozen pathogens, such as Salmonella and Streptococcus. It has become a major pest of residences, warehouses, factories, offices and hospitals.
Structural and Electrical Damage: Carpenter ants tunnel through wood, weakening structures, while the invasive species, fire ant, can chew on electrical wiring, creating potential hazards such as malfunctions and fires.
Lawn and Plant Damage: Ants disrupt gardens, crops, and ornamental plants.
Nuisance and Allergies: Ant trails and presence in homes or businesses are bothersome, and ant bites can cause allergic reactions.

Effective Ant Control

Our bespoke solutions to manage ant infestation include:

Targeted spray treatments: We focus on finding the nest to eliminate the queen.
Baiting: Where the infestation persists or the nest is not easily accessible, we employ bait stations containing highly effective ant bait. The ants carry this bait back to their nest, resulting in effective control of the infestation.
Drill and dust: If the nest is within a wall cavity, we spray insecticide directly in the nest. Once the treatment is complete, we seal the drilled holes. They can be reopened if further treatment is required.

Tips To Prevent Ant Infestations

We contacted this firm in the morning and they attended around lunchtime, very fast response and resolved our wasp problem within no time at all. Extremely professional and amazing service taking in all measures you would expect during the lock-down due to Covid-19.

Cannot praise this firm enough as we had a really bad wasp problem and even during the lockdown they came out. Very fast response and kept a safe distance at all times. Wonderful service well done!!

Helpful people to speak to on the phone. Prompt and efficient service, wasp nest dealt with no fuss and almost immediate result. Very competitive price for a full professional service with back up guaranteed for peace of mind. Everyone i dealt with including Chris who came out to the house was friendly and helpful. Very glad that i chose this company, would highly recommend them.

We have a regular contract with Independent Pest Control for our HMO's and have always found them, reliable, trustworthy and value for money. Recently we required urgent emergency support and IPC team members demonstrated just how they go above and beyond caring for their customers and wider community. We would highly recommend Independent Pest Control

I really can't thank Ian and his team enough. I use a wide range of companies on an almost daily basis, very few of whom come close to the levels of service I experienced from Independent Pest Control. From start to finish their technician Craig showed great knowledge and professionalism in dealing with the problem. This morning was the final visit and the property is now totally free from rodents. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending IPC. Thank you once again Ian.

I contacted Ian regarding a wasp nest in our roof space. The very next day we had Mark come and visit. Mark is an asset to the company providing a brilliant service; from calling ahead with an ETA, to a timely arrival with a very professional & friendly manner. Mark very clearly knows his stuff and went straight to the nest, treated it from inside and out whilst explaining to us what he was doing and what to expect next.

Frequently Asked Ant Questions

How to get rid of ants permanently?

Due to the fact that many ant species live in enclosed areas such as walls or underground, it is not possible to kill the entire colony using basic DIY methods. Hiring a professional pest controller is the most effective and lasting solution to eliminate ants and prevent future infestations.

What are the key signs of ant infestation?

1) Live Ants: If you notice a large number of live ants in your kitchen or food preparation area, you should take immediate action.

2) Ant Pathways: Trails of ants moving into and out of your premises is another sign of infestation. The pheromone trails are used to guide other ants to food.

3) Ants Nest: Nests can appear as small soil or dirt piles. Some ant species prefer hidden locations like walls or dark areas, making them harder to detect.

Should I kill the ants in my house?

If you squash an ant, you will attract more ants because the dead ants release pheromones that attract or alert nearby ants.
