Common ant problems in Crawley homes
The most common ant in Crawley homes is the black garden ant (Lasius niger), which forages indoors for sweet foods and water — particularly in kitchens, around drains and near pet food bowls. Ant season typically runs from May through September, peaking during warm, dry weather.
Flying ants (winged males and queens) appear during the summer mating season and can cause alarm, but are not a separate species — they're part of the same colony. If you're seeing large numbers of flying ants inside your home, it may indicate a nest in the structure of the building.

Ant control FAQs — Crawley
Why do ants keep coming back after I treat them myself?
Shop-bought sprays kill the visible ants but don't reach the colony. Professional treatment uses baiting methods that workers carry back to the nest, eliminating the source of the problem.
How quickly can you attend for ant control in Crawley?
We aim to attend within 24–48 hours. Weekend appointments available. Contact us and we'll confirm the next slot.
Is ant treatment safe around children and pets?
Yes — professional products applied carefully with clear guidance on re-entry times and any precautions.
How much does ant control cost in Crawley?
Pricing depends on the severity and property size. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins. No hidden fees.
Do you treat flying ants?
Yes — flying ants are part of the same colony as ground ants. If you're seeing them inside the property, it may indicate a nest in the building structure. We'll inspect and advise.
Can ants cause damage to my property?
Black garden ants are mainly a nuisance, but some species (like carpenter ants, which are rare in the UK) can damage wood. We'll identify the species and advise accordingly.
