Reliable Local Ant Control Experts Across Kent & East Sussex
Ant Control For All Ant Species
There are more than 13800 different ant species in the world, but since many of them prefer tropical climates, just 50 are found in the UK. Of these, the most common are known as garden or black ants, but pharaoh’s ants, red ants, carpenter ants and others are also found.
In the summer, sexually mature male and female black ants sprout wings and become flying ants, which can cause issues in your garden or other outdoor area. In the winter, tropical ant species such as pharaoh’s ants and ghost ants enter heated buildings in search of shelter.
As such, ants are an issue throughout the year, and need professional ant control to ensure they are fully eradicated. Fen Pest Control gets rid of ants at homes and commercial sites across Chatham, Gravesend, Heathfield, Hastings, Maidstone, Tenterden, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Eastbourne, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Rochester, Dover, Folkestone, Margate, Whitstable, Faversham and throughout Kent.

The Importance Of Professional Ant Treatment
As much as DIY ant control might seem like an easy way to save money, it can often do the opposite. That’s because most over-the-counter ant control products are ineffective against ant infestations, but can be toxic to children, livestock and pets.
Therefore, you may find yourself not only having to deal with health issues among your family and animals, but also having to pay for professional treatment in the end anyway. To save money and pay only once, it’s worth getting Fen Pest Control to carry out the work in the first place.
Our friendly team can respond quickly to ant control call-outs throughout Kent and East Sussex, ensuring a quick resolution to your ant issues. Contact us today to book your professional ant removal appointment and get back to a pest-free space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Signs Of An Ant Infestation?
Signs of ants include a trail of ants walking in the same direction and small piles of dirt in your garden or the pavement around your home, which could be ant nests. Even a few ants inside your property can quickly become a major infestation, so act fast and book professional ant pest control.
Are Ants Dangerous?
While ants don’t carry diseases as much as other pests, they can still spread bacteria and contaminate food by walking across food preparation surfaces. Some ant species can bite or sting, so they can cause skin irritation and potential infections. Carpenter ants chew through wooden furniture or beams, and can cause structural issues. So, while ants aren’t as dangerous as some other pest species, they are still an issue that needs prompt treatment.
How Do Ants Get Inside Your Property?
Ants can get inside through tiny cracks and crevices in your home’s exterior walls, which they use as entry points. Once inside, the scout ants will search for a reliable food source, and once they’ve found one they will release pheromones that will alert other ants.
What Do Ants Eat?
Ants are omnivorous scavengers who eat almost anything, including sugary foods, plants, and even dead insects. As such, when you’re trying to avoid an ant infestation, it’s worth removing dead fruit from around your garden and keeping your property free from crumbs. Also, make sure you store food in sealed containers to prevent ants from gaining access to it.
