How Much Does Professional Ant Control Cost in Bexley?

The Published Price

Flat £190, house £220. Every other flat-or-house service on this site has a £50 gap. Ants have £30.

Why the Gap Is Smaller

Rodent and cockroach work scales with the building, because the pest lives in the building. Ants usually do not. The colony is generally outside - under a patio, against a warm foundation, beneath a path or in a border - and the workers are simply commuting in through a gap.

So a house does not multiply the work the way it does for rats or mice. There is more perimeter to walk and more entry points to treat than a flat has, which is the £30, but nobody is searching a loft for ants.

What the Price Covers

Following the trail back to where it comes in, treating the entry point and the run with a gel bait the workers carry into the colony, and where the nest is accessible outside, treating that too. Advice on which gap to close so the same route is not available next summer.

Why Cheap Sprays End Up Costing More

A supermarket spray kills the ants you can see and does nothing at all to the colony. Worse, it destroys the scent trail, so the workers reroute and reappear somewhere else in the kitchen within a few days. That is how people end up spraying every week from May to September.

Gel bait works the opposite way round: the trail has to stay intact long enough for the workers to carry it home. If you have already been spraying, say so when you ring - it changes how the treatment is applied and how long it takes to work.

One Visit, Usually

Most domestic ant jobs are a single visit and a fortnight of patience. Activity often rises for a day or two after treatment as the bait is taken back - that is the treatment working, not failing. If it is genuinely still going after that, ring us.
