£190 flat, £220 house. And a caveat we would rather you read first: most garden ants outdoors do not need treating at all.
£190 for a flat and £220 for a house, covering the complete treatment including the follow-up if the colony does not clear on the first pass.
If the ants are outdoors in the garden, you almost certainly do not need us. Black garden ants outside are not a pest — treatment is for ants coming into the house.
We turn down ant enquiries every summer. A nest in a Pinner garden is doing no harm and the ants are not the problem.

Published prices, and honest advice about when treatment is not needed at all.
View Ant Control Pinner →Do not spray the trail before we come. It scatters the foraging route and makes baiting harder.
The building fabric here gives ants more ways in than a modern house does, which is why the trail often seems to come from nowhere.
None of that is a defect. It is how the house was built, and the fix is targeted baiting rather than sealing everything up — sealing subfloor ventilation causes damp and rot, which is a much more expensive problem than ants.
Activity usually falls within a few days and the colony clears over two to three weeks.
Not usually, and not for garden ants that stay outdoors.
Sometimes, as they recruit to the bait. It means it is working.
Flying insects rather than crawling? Wasp nests are £90 fixed in Pinner, guaranteed for 30 days.

No. Black garden ants outdoors are not a pest and a nest under a patio or lawn does not need treating.
A persistent trail into the kitchen, ants in food cupboards, a nest inside the building fabric, or very large numbers over weeks.
The workers you see are a small fraction of the colony. Spraying leaves the queen and brood untouched and the trail rebuilds in days.
No. It scatters the foraging route and makes baiting harder.
A suspended timber floor sits over a ventilated void. Ants nesting in that void come up where boards meet the skirting, and old boards have shrunk.
No. A mating flight lasts a few days in July or August and stops on its own.
Small pale ants with multiple queens that nest inside buildings. Spraying makes them worse. Tell us if the ants are small and yellowish.
Ask us first — if they are garden ants outdoors we will tell you not to bother.
