Ants Control

Ant Control Specialists — Fast, Effective & Lasting

Ants may seem like a minor inconvenience, but a full-scale ant infestation in your home or business can quickly become a serious problem. At Pescon Pest Control Services, we provide fast, targeted, and long-lasting ant control solutions across London — including Croydon, Wembley, Streatham, Dartford, Kingston, Richmond, Tooting, Putney, Hackney, Brixton, Ealing, Lewisham, Wandsworth, Hounslow, and Bromley.

Why Ant Infestations Should Never Be Ignored

Ants are highly organised insects that live in large colonies, often numbering in the thousands. Once they find a food source inside your property, they leave a chemical trail that guides the rest of the colony — meaning a small group of ants can very quickly become a full infestation.

Common problems caused by ant infestations include:

  • Food contamination as ants carry bacteria onto food preparation surfaces and stored food
  • Structural damage from certain species like carpenter ants that burrow into wooden structures
  • Electrical damage as ants are attracted to warm electrical units and can cause short circuits
  • Garden damage from large ant colonies destroying lawns and plant roots
  • Bites and stings from species such as the red fire ant causing allergic reactions
  • Reputational damage for food businesses and restaurants if ants are spotted by customers

Common Ant Species in London

Black Garden Ant — The most common species found in London homes and gardens. They enter properties in large numbers searching for sweet foods.

Pharaoh Ant — A tropical species commonly found in heated buildings such as hospitals, hotels, and flats. Particularly difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.

Roger’s Ant — Found in heated urban buildings, often mistaken for Pharaoh ants, and equally challenging to control.

Ghost Ant — A tiny, pale ant commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, attracted to sweet and greasy foods.

Our Ant Control Treatment Process

🐜 Step 1 — Inspection & Identification

Our certified technician visits your property, identifies the ant species, locates the nest, and assesses the scale of the infestation. Correct species identification is critical — different ant species require different treatment approaches.

🐜 Step 2 — Targeted Treatment

Depending on the species and severity, we apply the most effective treatment method including:

  • Gel baiting — highly effective for Pharaoh and Ghost ants, targets the colony at its source
  • Residual insecticide sprays — applied to entry points, trails, and nesting areas
  • Perimeter treatments — creates a protective barrier around your property to stop ants entering
  • Dust treatments — applied into wall cavities, voids, and hard-to-reach nesting areas
🐜 Step 3 — Proofing & Prevention

We identify and seal entry points where possible, provide advice on eliminating attractants, and recommend preventative measures to stop ants returning to your property.

🐜 Step 4 — Follow-Up & Guarantee

We follow up to ensure the treatment has been fully effective and offer retreatment guarantees for your complete peace of mind.
