Ants
As the majority of ant species prefer sunny climates, our environment is perfect for ants to thrive in.
Although black or garden ants aren’t thought to carry diseases, they can be a particular nuisance when they get into your home. Considering that ants frequently travel through unsanitary areas before they end up on your countertops, you won’t want them marching through your food cupboards.
For expert ant control services, residential customers can call Rentokil on 0861 117 852, or businesses can call on 0861 117 851. Alternatively, contact us online.

Ants will travel widely in search for food, following trails they have established and clustering around the source of food, becoming a nuisance in homes, organisations and businesses.
Small piles of earth around holes in soil and at the base of exterior walls indicate their origin.

FACT: Some birds spread their wings on an ant’s nest to get ants in their feathers. It is thought that this is because the ants squirt formic acid that gets rid of bird parasites.
