Ants Control
Long-Term Prevention and Control Solutions
Unstoppable Services provides prompt ant control services for both residential and commercial properties in London and Essex.
Whenever possible, we will follow the route of the worker ants back to their nest. If we can safely access the nest, we will use an insect powder that is specifically approved for this purpose.
In cases where the nest cannot be located, we will implement a residual insecticidal spray or ant gel bait to treat the the building or property.
We focus particularly on potential entry points, such as air bricks, waste pipes, and door frames, to establish an insecticidal barrier. Additionally, the application of gels and liquid bait can contribute to more effective long-term management of the infestation.
