Why Choose Pest Assured for Ant Control?
Ant infestations are rarely solved by treating only the ants you can see. The main colony may be hidden beneath flooring, behind walls, under paving or outside the property.
Pest Assured takes the time to identify where the ants are coming from and what is attracting them. We then select an appropriate treatment for the location, the scale of the infestation and the type of property.
Our ant control service is available for homes, landlords, shops, offices, hospitality premises and other businesses across York and North Yorkshire.
The aim is to deal with the current infestation while also reducing the conditions that may allow ants to return.
Inspection and assessment
We inspect the affected areas, likely nesting points, entry routes and nearby food or moisture sources. This helps us understand the extent of the infestation before treatment begins.
Targeted ant treatment
Depending on the situation, treatment may include professional insecticides, gels or baiting systems. The chosen method is applied carefully to target the colony rather than only the visible ants.
Advice on prevention
We explain any practical steps that may help reduce further activity. This can include sealing small gaps, improving food storage, cleaning affected areas and removing sources of moisture.
Minimal disruption
Treatments are planned around the property and the people using it. For commercial premises, we work carefully to minimise disruption to staff, customers and normal operations.
Signs You Have an Ant Infestation
Ants usually enter properties in search of food, water and shelter. At first you may only notice a few, but regular activity often indicates that a larger colony is nesting nearby.
Look out for:
- Lines of ants along worktops, cupboards, skirting boards or floors.
ย - Ants gathering around food, bins, pet bowls or sugary spillages.
- Small piles of soil or debris near cracks, paving joints or doorways.
- Ants repeatedly appearing from the same gap or hidden area.
- Winged ants indoors, which may indicate an established colony nearby.
Seeing ants regularly usually means they have established a route into your property. Treating only the visible ants is unlikely to deal with the colony, particularly when the nest is hidden beneath flooring, behind walls or outside.
Pest Assured provides professional ant control across York and North Yorkshire. We inspect the affected areas, identify likely entry points and apply the most appropriate treatment for the infestation.
HOW OUR ANT CONTROL SERVICE WORKS
1. Inspection and assessment
We inspect the affected areas, identify where the ants are entering and look for signs of nesting activity. This helps us determine the most appropriate treatment for your property.
2. Targeted treatment
A suitable treatment is applied to the affected areas using professional products selected for the type and extent of the infestation.
3. Colony activity reduces
You may continue to see some ants for a short period after treatment as they return to the colony. Activity should gradually reduce as the treatment takes effect.
4. Advice and prevention
Before we leave, weโll explain what to expect, answer any questions and provide practical advice to help reduce the likelihood of ants returning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Control
If you have a question about ant treatment, you may find the answer below. If not, contact Pest Assured and we will be happy to help.
How do I know if I have an ant infestation?
Regular ant trails, repeated activity around food, ants emerging from the same gap and small piles of soil or debris can all indicate a nearby colony. A few ants may only be searching for food, but persistent activity usually suggests a larger problem.
Can I deal with an ant infestation myself?
Shop-bought sprays may kill visible ants, but they often fail to reach the colony. This can result in the ants returning or appearing elsewhere. Professional treatment is more likely to address the source of the infestation.
Are ant treatments safe around children and pets?
Treatments are selected and applied carefully according to the location and circumstances. The technician will explain any precautions you should follow before, during or after treatment.
How quickly will the treatment work?
Some reduction in activity may be noticed quite quickly, although this depends on the size and position of the colony and the treatment used. You may continue to see ants for a short period while the treatment takes effect.
Will the ants return after treatment?
No treatment can guarantee that ants will never return, particularly where entry points and food sources remain available. We provide practical advice to help reduce the likelihood of further activity.
Where do ants usually nest?
Ants may nest beneath flooring, behind walls, under paving, in gardens, around foundations or close to sources of food and moisture. The nest is not always directly beside the area where the ants are first seen.
Do you provide ant control for businesses?
Yes. Pest Assured provides ant control for shops, offices, hospitality premises, landlords and other commercial properties across York and North Yorkshire.
