£220 for the programme. In a house the work is mostly outside — the trail on your kitchen floor is the end of a line that starts under the patio.
Inspection inside and out, treatment of the trail and entry points, treatment of the nest where it can be located, and follow-up as needed.
In a house the nest is usually outside — under a patio slab, a path, decking or against a wall. Finding it is most of the job.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| Follow the trail | Indoors, back to where it enters the building |
| Find the entry point | A gap at a threshold, an airbrick, a pipe penetration, a crack in mortar |
| Trace it outside | Along a wall, across a patio, under a slab — to the nest where possible |
| Treat | Bait at the trail and entry points; nest treatment where it can be located |
| Advise | On what is attracting them and what to change |
The follow-the-trail part matters. Treating where the ants are visible without finding where they come in means the same trail in a fortnight.
Small heaps of fine excavated soil between slabs are the give-away. Worth looking before we arrive — it saves time and it is quite satisfying.

In a house with young children the high chair and the area round it is the first place worth checking. It is nobody's fault; it is just where the sugar is.
Where it can be located, yes — that is included.
We can only treat where we have permission. We would treat your entry points and tell you what to raise with them.
A treated colony does not. A new one can establish, which is why sealing the entry point is worth doing.
A wasp nest under the same patio or in a shed is £90 fixed in Kenton, guaranteed.
Inspection inside and out, treatment of the trail and entry points, treatment of the nest where it can be located, and follow-up as needed.
Outside — under a patio slab, a path, decking, a doorstep, or in the soil against the house wall. Small heaps of fine soil give it away.
Through a door threshold, airbricks, the join where an extension meets the original house, pipe penetrations, mortar cracks and cable entries.
Almost always sugar — spills, the bin, pet food, fruit, unrinsed recycling, and in a family kitchen very often the area around a high chair.
No. Sprays kill foragers, leave the nest, and interfere with baiting. Clean up the food source instead.
They are recruiting to the bait and carrying it back to the nest. Expect a day or two of it.
Trails usually reduce noticeably within a week. Tell us if activity is unchanged after two weeks.
A treated colony does not, but a new one can establish — which is why sealing the entry point is worth doing.
£220 for the programme. Have a look for fine soil heaps between the patio slabs before we come.
