Indoor ant trails usually lead back to a nest in the garden, a wall cavity or, in heated buildings, a satellite colony of pharaoh ants. The species matters: black garden ants and pharaoh ants need different baits and a different search.
There are several types of ants in the UK, but the one we usually help with is the common black garden ant. While this is the most common, other types of ants can also cause problems in homes or businesses. It’s important to know which kind of ant you have because this can affect the best way to get rid of them.
How do you treat an ant infestation?
There are many ways to get rid of ants, but using store-bought ant killers is not always the best solution. These products often don’t work well because they have weaker ingredients. The first step in treating an ant problem is to know what kind of ant you’re dealing with. You might guess, but it’s best to have a professional check for sure.
Once you know the type of ant, you can figure out where their nest is and what is attracting them to your home.
The best way to handle ants, like many pests, is to prevent the problem before it starts. Our team offers ant control plans to help stop ants from becoming a problem in the first place. If you want to learn more, get in touch with us here.
Ant Pest Control Tips
As we said before, the best way to fight ant problems is to stop them before they start. We recommend doing this with a service plan from a professional pest control team, especially if your home or business often has ant issues. But you can also help prevent ants by:
- Keeping a strict cleaning routine
- Wiping all surfaces well after using them
- Vacuuming often
- Taking out the trash regularly

Ant quotes depend on the species and where the nest sits. Black garden ants often trail in from outside; pharaoh ants in a heated building need a wider baiting plan. What we look at:
- Whether the nest is in soil, a wall cavity or a heated service void
- How far trails run through kitchens or bathrooms
- Whether a follow-up is needed to confirm the colony has collapsed
If you’re concerned about ants, please contact our team. We can survey the trails and explain the treatment that fits the species.
