Professional Ant Control in Gloucester and Cheltenham

Ants may be small creatures, but they can be an incredibly annoying pest. Although ants are commonly found on people’s patios, drives and in gardens, they can and will often find their way into people’s properties, where they will forage for a food source in order to take back to their nest. Once an ant has found a food source, it will leave a trail of pheromones to signal other ants where the food source is. This is what creates a steady stream of ants across a property’s floor. Ants are not only annoying, but they also risk contaminating food preparation surfaces and food iself with e-coli and salmonella.

Controlling ants in your home will involve removing the food source. This is done by exercising  meticulous hygiene, keeping all food in tightly sealed containers, especially sugary foods. There are a lot of products currently available to the public to help control ants, such as bait stations and ant powders, but it can often be wise to call a professional pest controller, as they have the knowledge, expertise and professional insecticides to eradicate even the most severe ant infestations.
