How Do We Treat Ant Infestations Indoors and Outdoors?
While traditional insecticide sprays might kill ants on contact, they rarely eliminate the source colony. Worse still, with certain sensitive ant species like Pharaoh’s ants, spraying can trigger the ants to split into multiple satellite colonies, making the infestation even worse.
Our recommended and most effective approach is the use of professional-grade gel baits, which:
✅ Are carried by worker ants back to the nest
✅ Are fed to the rest of the colony, including the queen
✅ Work undetected, preventing colony fragmentation
✅ Achieve complete colony eradication
Our targeted ant control solutions ensure long-term results with minimal disruption.
Are Ants Harmful?
Yes, ants can pose several risks:
- Food contamination: Ants transfer bacteria and can spread harmful pathogens onto food surfaces.
- Property damage: Lawn ant nests damage turf and may blunt mower blades.
- Health risks: Species like red ants and Pharaoh’s ants can sting or spread illness, especially in sensitive environments like hospitals or food businesses.
Understanding the Different Ant Species We Treat
We have extensive experience controlling a wide range of ant species in Kent, including:
🐜 Black Garden Ants (Lasius niger)
Common invaders of homes and gardens, they can damage lawns and contaminate food in kitchens and hospitality settings.
🐜 Red Ants (Myrmecia rubra)
Known for painful stings similar to nettle rash, and for creating unsightly nests in gardens and lawns.
🐜 Argentine Ants (Linepithema humile)
An aggressive, invasive species that feeds on meats and sugary foods. These ants form multiple colonies with several queens, making them difficult to control without professional treatment.
🐜 Pharaoh’s Ants (Monomorium pharaonis)
Particularly difficult to eradicate due to their habit of splitting into satellite colonies when under threat. Often found inside heated buildings like hospitals, where they pose significant health risks by spreading pathogens.
