Protect Your Home And Garden From Nuisance Ants
Finding a few ants on or around your property is common in the UK, especially during the spring and summer months when the weather is warm. While ants aren’t as dangerous as other insect pests, such as bed bugs, fleas and wasps, they can still be a menace.
An ant nest can cause damage to your lawn and encourage other pests, such as aphids. Additionally, ants can contaminate food and generally make your home feel dirty and unwelcoming. For businesses, ants can be off-putting for customers and even cause your premises to be shut down by your local authority over health and safety issues, especially if you serve or prepare food.
Thankfully, Riddex has tried and tested ant control methods that can remove the infestation and stop the ants from returning. Our RSPH Level 2 Certified pest controllers have access to insecticides that aren’t available to the general public, and they have the expertise needed to use them safely and effectively.
Once we’ve fixed your ant problem, we can pest proof your property to fill any gaps and ensure ants, or other vermin, can’t get inside. To find out more about our pest control services for Bradford homes and businesses, call 07706 674706.

Signs Of An Ant Infestation
Ants are incredibly small, with most species reaching just a few mm in length. Still, there are several clear indicators of ant activity, including:
- A Trail Of Ants: Ants usually walk in a line, so if you see a trail of ants leading to or from your property, then this is a clear indication of an infestation.
- An Ant’s Nest: Ant nests look like small piles of earth with a small entrance hole in the centre and are often found on lawns.
- Flying Ants: In the summer, sexually mature queen and male black ants will grow wings and take flight, and you may notice them if you have a nest in your garden.
If you think you have an ant infestation, it pays to be proactive. Leaving it alone will only lead to a bigger problem further down the line as the ants continue to breed. Contact us for fast, effective ant removal services and expert advice.
Get Rid Of Ants Fast With Riddex
Ants might be small, but they’re renowned for being industrious workers who can quickly dismantle objects much larger than themselves in search of food and shelter.
In the UK, there are several ant species, the most common being black ants and pharaoh ants. Other, more dangerous ants that can bite humans include the red ant, which has both teeth and a painful sting.
What unites these various types of ants is that they are all incredibly irritating and make your space look and feel untidy. DIY ant control products, such as ant powders and poisons, aren’t effective at killing ants and can be toxic to kids and pets.
That’s why it’s important you hire skilled professional pest controllers to carry out your ant treatment. Riddex has carried out ant control jobs throughout Bradford and the surrounding area, and we’re ready to help with yours.
