Ant Pest Treatment

Treatment
A treatment can be provided for ants, although due to the nature of the pest, complete extermination can not be guaranteed.
Treatment Hours
Treatments are normally carried out during weekday office hours. However, during the peak summer season, longer hours and weekend working is often undertaken.
Appointment

If you wish us to tackle your ant problem, a Pest Control Officer will make an appointment. A key holder will need to be present. They may advise on suitable self-treatments that you can continue after our treatment.

Charge

The current charge for a complete treatment is £59.93 incl VAT for domestic properties (free if on income support or registered disabled). Phone 0845 300 6091 to arrange a pest control visit or to set up a new pest control contract.

Retreatments
Sometimes treatments need reapplication to fully eradicate a pest. Sometimes, new pests take over the space once occupied by an eradicated pest. Pest Control Officers will decide whether the return of a pest is the same pest requiring a retreatment (which is free), or a new pest infestation requiring a new treatment (which will require payment).
