A rural village home in Staunton, with farmland on every side, can have ants from several nests. We follow the trail and treat the source.
Rural villages in the Newark and Sherwood area are surrounded by farmland, so gardens border open ground. Ants nest in banks, walls and soil beside outbuildings, and travel to kitchens when a food source appears. After harvest, field activity changes and foragers may turn to nearby gardens, which can make late summer a busy time.
We treat the nest if we can reach it and the route into the home if not. A free pest prevention survey is part of the service with treatments, covering gaps and storage and what to look for later in the year. We explain what depends on conditions rather than promising a particular result.
Colonies are at their largest, and changes in nearby fields can send foragers elsewhere. Ants lay scent trails, so every worker that finds food guides others along the same route until the trail is broken at its source.
Gaps, food storage, outbuildings and what draws ants to the property. We explain what to seal and tidy. 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.

In a village with fields at the end of the garden, an ant trail can run a long way before it reaches your back door. Follow it before you spray anything.
Read the advice →Open barn doors, grain and a high rafter: for pigeons, a farm building is nearly perfect. Closing those roost sites works better than any scarecrow.
