Ants in kitchen hertfordshire

While ants are a common sight in gardens, once they invade your home or business, they can contaminate food, damage property, and become a persistent nuisance.
In Hertfordshire, the most common species we deal with are garden ants, pharaoh ants, and ghost ants — each requiring a different treatment approach.

Ant Infestations Can Quickly Get Out of Control

Signs of an ant infestation:

  • Ant trails in kitchens or food storage areas

  • Small piles of soil or debris near skirting boards or paving

  • Winged ants (flying ants) during summer months

Our Hertfordshire Ant Treatment Service

We use professional-grade ant treatments that are far more effective than shop-bought sprays — and safe for your family and pets once dry.

Our process:

  1. Inspection to identify the ant species and locate the nest.

  2. Targeted treatment using gels, sprays, or dusts tailored to the infestation.

  3. External treatment to destroy nests in patios, driveways, and walls.

  4. Prevention advice to reduce the chance of ants returning.
