Aldershot Ant Control

Ants are a common annoyance pest in the UK. While they are advantageous to the environment in the garden, when they are inside properties in great numbers they can be problematic. Ants do not usually spread diseases, but they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can get. They can contaminate food, and it is not recommended to consume foodstuffs that ants may have touched or been near. Some species of ants in the United Kingdom can sting, and are dangerous if a nest is disturbed.

There are a range of different ant treatments that vary from preventative measures to full scale nest eradication. For most preventative situations where ants are simply getting into the building searching for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the afflicted areas will be adequate to deter ants. If the issue is consistent, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently moving. This can entice the ants and stop them from venturing further into the building.

For more severe ant infestations, an experienced pest control company should be hired to examine the area and advise you of the most effective technique to handle the infestation. In general the best way to control an ant infestation is to get rid of the nest. This is done using insecticide powder that is applied both to the nest and in the nearby area to ensure any ants that return to the nest are affected.
