Cheshire Pest Control Ants
Black or Garden ants are commonly found throughout the UK, and although they nest outdoors, they are often found inside houses, causing a nuisance more than anything.
They are social creatures, and live in colonies containing workers (infertile females), males, queens and grubs (larvae). Ants mate on the wing so the 'flying ants' which are often mistaken for flies are either males or immature queens.
Unfortunately, when ants choose to nest under the floors of houses, they can become a major and distressing pest especially when in the mating phase when many thousands of ants can be discharged from the nest into your home etc.
The most successful method of curing an ant infestation is to drill holes into the cavity walls of the property from the outside and inject insecticidal dust into the cavity itself.
This forms an impenetratable barrier, which the ants cannot cross, and is 99.9% successful in removing ant infestations. Although the treatment is more expensive, it lasts for several years depending on how dry the cavities are and has the benefit that once the holes are drilled it is a simple and relatively matter to re-inject the cavities with insecticidal dust every few years.
Harrier Pest Prevention guarantees the treatment for three years.
