Description
Ants can be a very distressing due to the distance they travel in search of a food source. Generally they tend to stay close to your kitchen, often getting into cupboards and foraging along work tops.
A thorough inspection will be carried out, to establish entry points and direction of travel. Treatment methods consist of residual sprays and gel baits that they take back to their nest.

Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the Cretaceous period, about 140 million years ago, and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. More than 12,500 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and the distinctive node-like structure that forms their slender waists.
