MAIN FEATURES OF OUR ANT RIDDANCE PROGRAM



USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE TRAPS

We use industry tested ant preparations such as traps and monitors to help identify where these pests are nesting and hiding in your living space. Careful consideration is taken to ensure that this is done
effectively throughout the treatment.


USING PROFESSIONAL GRADE POISONS

Professional grade insecticides are at least TWICE as potent. These are different to consumer grade variants. When used effectively they provide an effective treatment against ant activity.


INSPECTING AND MONITORING THOROUGHLY

Inspecting and monitoring the premises is very important as we zone in on activity. Monitoring the consumption of rodenticides and ensuring the treatments stay effective means your problem is solved quicker.

ant CONTROL F.A.Q'S


Q: BEST CONTROL METHOD?

A tailored approach is best. Factors include the length of the infestation, severity of the problem and various other factors. Different species of ant require different treatment methods.

Q: HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?


The vast amount of ant species means that life span vaires greatly between them. The most common ant in the UK is the Garden Ant. Workers can live for around 4 years and Queens much longer.

Q: FIRST SIGNS OF ACTIVITY?


Normally the first signs are sightings. These come out of nowhere and will normally be near places where water is nearby.

Q: HOW QUICKLY DO THEY BREED?


A queen Garden Ant will generally lay 8 to 12 eggs to start with. These take 8 to 10 weeks to hatch. The queens reproduction rate will then increase significantly depending on the water and food sources nearby.

Q: COST TO GET PEST CONTROL?


Treatment prices depend on how many treatments are required. Once the level of activity is inspected a quote can be supplied.

Q: HOW TO PREVENT THEM?


Thoroughly check second furniture and items you bring into your home. Keep your home well vacuumed regularly to limit food sources to pests. Seal cracks and crevices over time to stop activity coming into your home from neighbouring properties.
