Ants in a Daybrook house often come from a yard or garden nest. We trace the trail, treat it and charge no call-out fee.
Daybrook, part of Arnold, has Victorian terraces and inter-war houses side by side. Older yards and walls hold nests in the mortar, while inter-war gardens have lawns, paths and sheds. Ants are creatures of habit and follow the same line daily until the nest is dealt with, which is why you might see the same lane across the kitchen floor every morning.
We mark where the trail begins and treat the nest or route. We also point out likely gaps: door thresholds, pipe entries and window frames. Prices are fixed cost and we make no call-out charges. If an inter-war house has an old shed or outbuilding nearby, we check there too.
They lay scent trails that other ants follow. Wiping the trail confuses them briefly, but the nest keeps sending them. Treating the source is what changes it.
Yes. They offer shelter and a base for nests. We check them along with the garden. Ants are more active in warm weather, and colonies grow through the summer before slowing in the cold. Treatment results depend on the size and position of the nest, and we say what to expect before we start.
Ants follow trails to food, so crumbs, spills and open food can attract them.

Before you reach for the phone, it helps to know what kind of nest you have, where it is and what time of year it is. Some can wait. Others should not.
