Ants can be a frustrating pest, particularly during the summer months when large numbers invade kitchens, gardens, and outdoor eating areas. While most ant species in the UK are not dangerous, a significant infestation inside a property can cause real problems, particularly in food businesses. Ant control in Newcastle from City Pest Services provides effective treatment for both domestic and commercial infestations.

The most common ant species causing problems in Newcastle is the black garden ant, which typically forages indoors for sweet foods. Pharaoh ants are less common but more problematic, particularly in hospitals and care homes where they can spread bacteria. Our ant control Newcastle team can identify the species quickly and apply the most appropriate treatment.

Gel baits are often used for indoor ant treatments, as worker ants carry the bait back to the colony and share it with the queen. This approach eliminates the nest rather than just the visible foraging ants. For outdoor nests, we use targeted insecticide treatments applied directly to the colony.

Preventing ant ingress involves sealing small gaps around windows, doors, and pipework, and maintaining good hygiene to remove food sources that attract them. City Pest Services will advise on these measures following treatment.
