£190 flat, £220 house. Ants are the pest we most often talk people out of treating — and in a flat there is an extra question worth asking before you book.
£190 for a flat and £220 for a house.
Before booking: ants in a garden do not need treatment, and a short-lived trail often does not either. In an upper-floor flat there is an additional question — where they are getting in — that changes the answer.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Ant treatment – flat | £190 |
| Ant treatment – house | £220 |
A £30 gap rather than the £50 that separates flat and house for rodents. Ant work concentrates on one route and one colony, so property size matters less.
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.

Ants in a second- or third-floor kitchen have not wandered in through the front door. They are following a route — usually a service riser, a cavity, or the outside of the building via a drainpipe, cladding junction or window frame — and that route is the useful thing to identify.
An upper-floor trail is more often worth treating than a ground-floor one, precisely because you cannot simply seal a patio junction and be done.

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 still knows the route exists.
Read nextAnt Trails Keep Returning in Wealdstone – Why Does This Happen? →Rental properties are treated at the same published prices. Ants are among the most common tenant reports and frequently do not need treatment, so it is worth establishing what is actually happening first — a photograph of the trail and where it enters is genuinely useful.
Common garden ants do not damage structures in this country. A nuisance and a food-hygiene concern rather than a structural risk.
Not instantly. Treatment aimed at a colony works through the colony.
Possible if there is a colony nearby and the route is still open. Sealing the route is what changes that.

No. Garden ants are normal and largely beneficial.
When a trail persists or returns after cleaning, when ants reach stored food, or when activity has run for weeks.
Usually a service riser, a cavity, or the outside of the building. That route is worth identifying, and it makes treatment more often warranted.
No. They are the reproductive stage, appear for a few days, and resolve on their own.
Common garden ants do not damage structures in this country.
No. Those are for the freeholder or managing agent, and garden ants do not need treating in any case.
