Trusted Across Bagshot & Surrey For Ant Pest Control
How To Identify An Ant Infestation
Ants are a common site in the UK, especially during the summer, so you might not think a few ants is an issue. Unfortunately, if they make their way into your property and find a reliable food source, ants can leave pheromone trails that will soon bring the entire colony.
As such, what starts as a sighting of one or two ants can turn into a larger problem. Look out for trails of ants walking in the same direction, ant nests, which look like piles of soil, in and around your garden, as well as discarded wings from flying ants.
Operating across Bagshot, Surrey, Ascot, Sunningdale, Camberley, Windlesham, and beyond, Peacocks Pest Control can help identify the ant species you’re dealing with, remove the infestation and seal potential entry points to ensure they can’t return.

Ants might not seem like a significant issue, but they are attracted to sweet foods, and can contaminate food preparation areas or storage containers if these aren’t properly sealed and cleaned. Also, carpenter ants, which build nests inside wooden furniture or structures and leave behind small piles of wood shavings, can cause structural damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do Ants Enter Your House?
Ants will enter your property if they find an easy entry point, like small holes in your walls or gaps between window frames. Once the ants are inside, they will look for an accessible food source, such as crumbs, unsealed food containers and bins. Many ant species, particularly tropical ant species such as ghost ants, like heated buildings as they offer warmth and shelter. When ants find food, they will leave pheromone trails to alert other worker ants and take the food back to the queen ant in the nest. So, you could soon find that you have a significant ant problem after seeing just a few ants.
Are Ants Dangerous?
Ants can be a nuisance, especially during the summer, when sexually mature ants gain wings and become flying ants. Additionally, ants can contaminate food by walking across food preparation surfaces and getting into food storage areas. While ants don’t carry diseases themselves, they can spread bacteria and germs. Some ant species, such as red ants, can bite and sting, which can cause skin irritation and potential infection. For businesses, an ant infestation can breach health and safety laws and cause reputation damage. As such, ants can be a significant issue that you need to eliminate fast.
What Do Ants Eat?
Ants are omnivores that eat a combination of sugary foods, such as nectar, fruit, vegetables and seeds, as well as protein from other insects such as aphids and even bits of meat when they find it. As such, ants will scavenge for almost anything, and common food sources found around human dwellings include insecure pet food, bins, and unsecured food packages.
How Do You Get Rid Of Ants Permanently?
The best way to effectively remove ants permanently is to work with experienced pest control providers like Peacocks. If you’re dealing with ants, then it can be difficult to get rid of them. DIY ant killer products, such as sprays and powders, can be ineffective against ants but can harm pets and other non-target species, such as local wildlife. Our team are RSPH level 2 certified, with access to insecticide bait and other ant control products that aren’t available to the general public. Combined with our knowledge and expertise, we’re able to use these products to safely remove ants without causing issues to children, pets and non-target species.
