Ant Nest Removal Guide

Scope of Works

• Locate active nest(s) and assess species, size, and entry routes. • Apply targeted insecticide (gel bait, dust, or liquid) to nest chambers and foraging trails. • Treat surrounding cracks, wall voids, or patio joints to prevent re‑infestation. • Remove visible debris or dead ants; dispose in sealed waste. • Seal minor entry points with appropriate filler or silicone (if agreed). • Provide written advice on hygiene, proofing, and any follow‑up visit schedule.

Typical Cost (inc. VAT)

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Which insecticide method will you use and is it safe for pets?

2. How many visits are included in the quoted price?

3. Do you identify the ant species before treatment?

4. What guarantee do you offer against re‑infestation?

5. Will you seal entry points or is that separate?

6. Are your technicians certified under BPCA / RSPH Level 2?

7. How should I prepare the area before your arrival?

   
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Provide clear parking near the property for equipment.

• Inform the technician of children, pets, or fish tanks in treated areas.

• Ensure access to lofts, sub‑floors, or garden buildings if nests suspected there.

• Check whether a follow‑up visit is required and diarise it.

• Keep driveways and paths clear for ladders or extension poles.
