Ant Control in Bexley
Ants come in through small gaps around doors, windows, walls and paving, following a scent trail to whatever they found. The trail across the kitchen floor is the symptom. The nest, which is usually outside, is the job.
Ants in the House
A steady line of ants along a worktop edge, a skirting or a run of paving, always following the same route. Small heaps of fine soil between paving slabs or at the base of a wall. Winged ants over a few days in high summer, which is the colony sending out new queens rather than a different pest.
Black garden ants are the usual visitor and are a nuisance rather than a hazard. What makes them worth treating properly is persistence: an established nest under a patio or against a warm foundation will keep sending workers in for as long as there is something to find.

Why Shop-Bought Sprays Make It Last Longer
A household spray kills the ants you can see and does nothing at all to the nest. Worse, it breaks the trail, so the colony reroutes and comes back somewhere else in the kitchen a few days later. That is why people end up spraying every week all summer.
Gel bait works the other way round. The workers carry it back and feed it to the colony, so the thing that matters is that the trail stays intact long enough for them to do it. If you have already sprayed, tell us - it changes how we treat and how long it takes to work.
How Ant Control Works at Your Property
Kill the trail and you have done nothing.
