Riverside homes in Gunthorpe share the bank with plenty of ants. We trace the trail to the nest and treat it, with free advice.
A village on the Trent, known for its bridge and lock, has a riverside setting where ants nest in banks, walls and garden edges. Damp ground can push colonies into drier spots near buildings, such as the footing of a house wall or beneath a patio. Visitors' food, picnic waste and bins add temptation for foragers in places where people gather.
We follow the trail to the nest and treat it. If you run a holiday let or small business, we also look at waste and food storage, because guests are less careful than residents. Free advice comes with all treatments, and we explain what to expect and what to do between visits.
Food left by guests and open waste can attract them. A quick check and treatment between stays helps keep it under control.
They nest wherever the ground suits them. Damp conditions can push them to drier spots near buildings. Photographs of the ants and a note of where you see them are a useful starting point for us.
Ants follow trails to food, so crumbs, spills and open food can attract them.
