Effective Ant Control in London with Tom’s Pest Control

Pharaoh Ant (Monomorium pharaonis)

Also known as Tropical Ants, Pharaoh Ants are a significant pest in London due to their preference for warm, humid environments like hospitals and apartment buildings. They can breed exceptionally quickly which makes them a high risk of spreading bacteria in large complexes along with smaller homes.

Yellow Meadow Ant (Lasius flavus)

If you love your lawn, this pest is definitely one to look out for. Unfortunately, the signs of Yellow Meadow Ants settling in can be difficult to spot, as they build vast underground networks that London home owners may not notice until they are already swamped. If you are noticing mounds on your lawn, call in our London exterminators to nip this problem in the bud before they destroy your prized lawn.

Red Wood Ant (Formica rufa)

Red Wood Ants present a unique challenge for London homes and businesses located near wooded areas. Known for their aggressive behaviour when threatened, they can deliver painful bites to humans and pets. Their large, conspicuous nests in garden areas or near buildings can also lead to structural issues over time, making them a pest that requires careful management.

European Fire Ant (Myrmica rubra)

The European Fire Ant has become an increasing concern in London due to its aggressive nature and painful sting. These ants can dominate garden spaces, making them unusable for residents. They are attracted to moist environments and can nest under lawns, paving stones, and within building foundations, leading to potential damage and costly repairs. Their aggressive defence of their territory poses a significant nuisance to homeowners and businesses alike.
