£190 for a flat, £220 for a house. But the first question is whether you need treatment at all — and for a lot of ant problems, the honest answer is no.
Professional ant treatment costs £190 for a flat and £220 for a house.
Before you book anything, though: ants in the garden do not need treatment, and a short-lived trail in a kitchen often does not either. This page covers when it is worth paying and when it is not.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Ant treatment – flat | £190 |
| Ant treatment – house | £220 |
Note that the gap here is £30 rather than the £50 that separates flat and house prices for rodents. Ant work is generally more concentrated around a specific point of entry, so the property-size difference matters less.
We would rather say this at the top of the page than take a booking you did not need. Ants are the pest we most often talk people out of treating.
The test is persistence, not presence. Ants that keep coming back after you have cleaned the trail away are a problem. Ants you saw once are not.

View Ant Control Harrow Weald →This is the thing that turns a minor irritation into a call to us, and it is worth understanding.
Ants lay a chemical trail that other ants follow. Wiping the surface removes the ants you can see but frequently leaves enough of the trail for the next one to pick up — and even where the trail is properly removed, the colony that sent them is still there, still knows the route exists, and sends more.
That is why treating the ants you can see achieves so little. The visible trail is a supply line, and the thing that matters is at the other end of it.
Read nextHow Do You Get Rid of Ants Coming Into a Harrow Weald Home? →The difference between a supermarket spray and a professional treatment is what each is aiming at. A spray kills the ants on the worktop. Professional treatment is aimed at the colony that is sending them.
That is why a treated ant problem stops rather than pausing, and why the results are not always instant — a treatment that reaches the colony works through the colony, which takes a little time.
Rented properties are treated at the same published prices — £190 flat, £220 house. Tenants report ants frequently and the honest answer is often that no treatment is needed, which is worth establishing before arranging a visit.
If a tenant reports a persistent kitchen trail that returns after cleaning, that is the point at which treatment is warranted.
No, and they are not a reason to treat. Flying ants are the reproductive stage of the same garden ants, emerging over a few days in warm weather. It looks alarming and resolves itself.
Common garden ants do not damage structures in this country the way termites do elsewhere. They are a nuisance and a food-hygiene concern rather than a structural risk.
If there is a colony near the building and an open route in, activity can recur seasonally. Sealing the entry point is what changes that.

£190 for a flat and £220 for a house.
No. Garden ants are normal and largely beneficial — there is no sensible reason to treat a lawn or border.
When a trail into the property persists or keeps returning after cleaning, when ants get into stored food, or when activity has run for weeks.
Wiping removes the ants you can see but not the colony sending them, and often leaves enough chemical trail for the next one to follow.
No. They are the reproductive stage of the same ants, they appear for a few days in warm weather, and they resolve on their own.
Common garden ants do not damage structures in this country. They are a nuisance and a hygiene concern rather than a structural risk.
Yes, at the same published prices.
