Ants are an irritating insect pest that can be particularly annoying during the summer months when they spend a lot of time searching for a food source.
While ants might be harmless while they’re in your garden, if they enter your home, they can quickly become incredibly irritating. Not only do they make your space feel uncomfortable, but ants can also spread diseases and contaminate food.
Additionally, if ants crawl across your skin, they can create an itchy sensation, which is deeply unpleasant. As such, you need to be proactive if you notice ants on your property.
For homeowners throughout Blackburn and West Yorkshire, PestEvo offers fast, effective ant control services. Call 01254492768 to find out more and book your ant pest control treatment today.

How To Spot Signs Of An Ant Infestation
Unlike smaller insects, such as bed bugs and fleas, ants are usually relatively easy to see with the naked eye. They are small, however, and you might not realise how bad your ant problem is until it’s too late. Some common signs of ant activity include:
- Ant Sightings: Ants are often seen walking in lines. While they might initially be in your garden, if you see them near or inside your home, then you need expert ant control.
- Flying Ants: Black ants will often grow wings in the Summer and fly to find a mate, which means you might see winged ants flying around.
- Wood Shavings: Some ant species, such as the carpenter ants, eat wood and leave behind small piles of wood shavings.
- Ant Hills: Other species found in the UK, such as the yellow meadow ant, create nests on lawns and in gardens that look like small piles of dirt, which indicates that ants are nearby and ready to come indoors.
If you suspect ants are in your house, call 01254492768 to book professional ant control. Ants are most active between Spring and Summer but can strike throughout the year and cause significant issues, particularly for families with young children. Eliminate ants safely and successfully with our expert support.

Get Rid Of Ants Fast With PestEvo
There are over 20,000 species of ants in the world, but most of them enjoy warm weather. As a result, many ant species aren’t found in the UK. Of the ones that are, the most common are black ants, also known as garden ants, and pharaoh ants.
Both have the characteristic 6 legs, with a thin body split into multiple round sections and small antennae on their heads. As the name suggests, the black ant is usually dark brown or black in colour, while pharaoh ants are a paler yellowish colour.
Whatever type of ant species you’re dealing with, it’s important you act fast to ensure that you don’t end up overrun. To help other ants find their way to entry points that will allow them access to food, these enterprising insects leave ant trails throughout your property.
So, what starts as one or two ants can easily become a major issue if the whole colony follows suit and enters your home. Ant infestations won’t go away on their own, so you need to work with the pest control experts at PestEvo.
Our team use the latest technology to find and remove all ants from your property. We can also get rid of an ant nest if we find one in your garden or grounds.
While there are DIY ant control products on the market, these often aren’t effective, especially if you don’t seal up entry points and remove the queen as well as the worker ants. To eliminate ants for good, Call 01254492768 and speak to PestEvo.
