Ants are a common garden pest, often harmless, but they can quickly become a real nuisance—especially when they invade your home or swarm your favourite outdoor spots like patios and BBQ areas. When thousands of ants appear, it’s more than just an annoyance; it can disrupt your daily life and enjoyment of your outdoor space.
In the UK, there are many ant species, but the most troublesome tend to be the black or common garden ants. These ants build nests in soil, under paving, or in cracks and crevices around your property. Once established, they can multiply rapidly and invade your home in search of food and water.
At Elimipest Southwest, we understand the behaviour of these pests and know how to tackle them effectively. We use the latest insecticides designed specifically for ant control, ensuring both safety and efficiency.
Our preferred treatment involves a gel containing Indoxacarb, a modern insecticide that works in a smart and targeted way. The ants are attracted to the gel and feed on it, but the active ingredient only activates once ingested. They then carry the bait back to their nest and share it with the entire colony, including the queen. This method disrupts and ultimately eradicates the nest, stopping the problem at its source.
Because this treatment is contained and specifically targets ants, it’s very safe for use around children, pets, and the family. It also reduces the need for widespread spraying or harsh chemicals in your home and garden.
If ants are invading your home or garden, don’t let them take over. Contact Elimipest Southwest for expert, safe, and reliable ant control solutions designed to get rid of your infestation quickly and effectively.
