Ants and Flying Ants Control

Preparation and Advice

1) If you cannot eradicate your ant problem then call or book online your ant control experts today, your local pest controller will eradicate your ant infestation and its nests with our professional ant gel and spray treatment, we cover the whole of East Anglia.

2) Before we arrive at your property or business we advise you remove any diy products you have been using and make sure there are no food spillages that ants are attracted too. Keep all surfaces clean

3) To comply with Health and Safety requirements when using professional insecticides, all adults, children and pets will need to be kept out of the treated area or location for 4 hours until dry.
4) If the problem is in a kitchen you may need to remove kickboards and plinths.
5) We do advise you follow the ant trail of where the ants come and go, there will normally be gaps through window sills, airbricks, or pipework, these gaps can be sealed using silicone or expanding foam, don’t worry if you can’t locate the nest we will find it and we will advise any proofing recommendations at our treatment visit.
6) Please also identify the species of ant that is infesting your property or business, 95% of ant call outs are for the common black garden ant, Red ants are normally found outside in the soil or under garden slabs, however if you have a transparent yellow looking ant these are Pharoah ants (Tropical Ants) these ants require a completely different insecticide, so please make this known at the time of booking.

Below is a video of Millennium Pest Control identifying an ants nest outside, the ants enter the property through a hole in the wall from exposed pipework, a spray removal treatment was carried out to eradicate the nest and advised the customer to block hole with cement or expanding foam to prevent any future ant activity.

2) An eruption of Flying Ants this is when mating takes place once a year and the ants swarm in huge numbers, this is very unsightly and normally happens on a hot summer humid day.

Ant Facts

Black (or Garden) Ant : Ants are approximately 3-5mm in length, black or very dark brown in colour, nests are found in flowerbeds, under paving slabs and at the base of walls. Worker ants usually invade properties in search of sweet food substances during the spring and summer months. The Queen (winged) ants leave the nest to relocate during hot summer afternoons. This can cause huge amounts of concern when at anyone time thousands of flying ants can take to the air.
Myrmica rubra and Myrmica ruginodis (red) Ants: Slightly smaller than the common any Red Ant nests are commonly found in garden areas, typically under paving stones or slabs. The red ant can deliver a painful sting which is injected with formic acid. Each nest can last for many years with up to 1000 worker ants at any time with all eggs being laid by a single queen.
Pharoah Ant: This tropical Argentine ant has readily taken up residence in the UK and across Europe favouring warm heated buildings. Measuring around 4mm long the ants are yellow in colour and quickly spread as they are continually foraging for both food and new nesting sites. Unlike most UK species these colonies are highly mobile with multiple queens within the same nest making treatment very difficult as traditional localised control methods does not kill all breeding sites and will cause the colony to scatter and form multiple new colonies making the problem worse. They don’t only have a sweet tooth for feeding they also will feed from protein based foods unlike the black garden ant.

Brilliant service

Brilliant and friendly service by Tony Bennett, he was very knowledgeable and offered lots of advice. The report was completed very quickly and was very helpful to remember the key points. I’m very pleased with the service received and I would definitely recommend millennium pest control.

Good Value for money

When I saw I had to pay £200, I was a bit shocked, but didn't realise they would make three visits over six weeks!! - Plus supply all the poison and provide so much advice.
This represents great value and the guys are very friendly and I am very happy with the results.
My mice are not completely gone, but they are out of the house now and you can't really control what the neighbours do, but at least I now know whats happening and can stop them getting to the places I don't want them.
The service is so fast, I got a visit the very next day after I reported the problem, great company, highly recommended.
