Ant Control

Are you looking forward to spending time outdoors in your garden this Summer, you may a little ant control.

If you are like many in the UK, you may have some uninvited guests on your lawn to deal with. Lawn Ants can be a problem in your lawn, they will also get under paving and patios. Some species of Lawn Ants can dig down a metre or more.

If you have an infestation of lawn ants, it can be difficult to control. A colony can contain thousands of ants all working to find food, especially anything sweet. Ants can carry bacteria which is harmful to us humans. They are known to contract Salmonella which could become widespread throughout your home and onto your food. They sting too!

Foraging worker ants become a nuisance as they search for food.  Starting outside the home and then moving inside in the search for food. They will nest almost anywhere around your garden or home. In your gardens, they will excavate around the plant and grassroots and make the soil excessively dry. Once an Ant colony moves into your home and garden it will be a real challenge to get rid of them. Dealing with an Ant infestation should be dealt with as soon as it occurs otherwise it will be even harder to deal with.
