Ant Control in London by Archers Pest Control

Do I Need Professional Ant Control?

A few ants in summer can often be managed by cleaning up and sealing where they come in. Call a professional when:

  • ants keep returning after shop-bought sprays and powders
  • there are trails in several rooms, or ants are coming from inside walls and floors
  • you see tiny yellow-brown ants all year round, which are likely to be pharaoh ants
  • the problem is in a restaurant, shop or shared building

Not sure which ant you have? See our ant identification guide.

Preparing for Your Ant Treatment

  • Clean the affected areas thoroughly. The treatment works best on clean, dust-free surfaces.
  • Empty the cupboards in the affected areas and clear away clutter.
  • Arrange for people and pets to be out of the property if a spray treatment is needed. Your technician will confirm this.

Our Ant Control Process

1

Visit 1: Inspection and baiting

Your technician inspects the property to find the ant activity and their trails, then places bait gel in safe spots. The ants feed on it and carry it back to the nest, which destroys the colony from the inside. Because the gel is placed out of reach, you do not need to leave the property.
2

Visit 2: Follow-up treatment

The technician assesses the results and finishes off what remains of the colony. For a heavier infestation a different product may be applied, in which case you may need to leave the property for roughly 3 hours while it settles and dries.
3

Pharaoh ants: third visit

Pharaoh ants have many linked nests and several queens, so the pharaoh ant treatment runs over 3 visits.

Heavy infestations, or those spreading from neighbouring properties, shared buildings and restaurants, can need more than the standard number of visits.

After the Treatment

  • Let the treatment dry completely before using the treated rooms. Your technician will tell you how long to stay out.
  • Do not wash, mop or wipe treated surfaces until the time given in your report, so the product can keep working.
  • Follow the hygiene and prevention advice in your report to stop the problem coming back.

We have got you covered

Your ant treatment is guaranteed for 2 months from your last visit. If the problem returns in the treated areas in that time, we come back free of charge, with up to 2 free guarantee visits. The guarantee applies inside the treated areas, when the preparation and aftercare advice in your report has been followed.
