Ants in a Carrington villa or terrace usually come from a garden or yard nest. We find the trail, treat the source and explain what to change.
Larger Victorian villas have more ways in for ants: sash windows, cellar vents, old airbricks and long garden walls. Smaller terraces have fewer but closer entry points. In both, the trail normally runs from a nest in the garden or beneath a patio towards a kitchen or pantry. Ants may also be farming aphids on garden plants, which keeps them active near the house through summer.
We look at the garden edges and house walls as well as the room where you saw the ants. Once the nest or route is treated, we point out what makes the property attractive, from fruit bowls to pet food. A free pest prevention survey is available with treatments, so you leave with a clear list of gaps and habits to deal with.
Ants are more active in warm weather and nests grow, so trails become easier to see. In winter garden ants slow down, though heated buildings can keep some species going.
Most garden ants do not damage structure, but they can undermine paving and contaminate food. It is the nuisance and hygiene side that usually prompts a call.
Ants follow trails to food, so crumbs, spills and open food can attract them.
