Ants

The presence of ants in domestic environments requires control when a food source attracts significant numbers to enter cupboards and penetrate stored food products. In warmer seasons ant swarms can give cause for alarm and irritation particularly in public places such as schools. Common Black Ants may occasionally bite however the sting of the Red Ant is aggravating and should be avoided.

Infestations of Pharaohs, Ghost and Argentine Ants in commercial and institutional environments requires control as movement can transfer disease organisms throughout a property with ease. Within Hospitals this provides a direct threat to patients, facilities and stored sterile products. Please call us without obligation on 01635 250 852

Mated females will seek to start a new colony.
