Flying Ants Infestations Cured Manchester –

Do you dread the start of spring when the ants start to wake up?

Garden ants (Lasius niger) are a troublesome pest when they enter properties and can make your life a nightmare year after year, especially in the summer in  the ‘flying ant’ season.

Putting down countless tubes of ‘Ant Powder’ has no effect and the ants crawl over your kitchen surfaces etc. spreading disease and dirt.

Are we ringing any bells?

Well now you can cure the problem by having the property professionally treated with a three-year extendable guarantee.

The treatment involves drilling small holes into the cavity walls of the property from the outside, (a little like putting in a damp proof course) and injecting an insecticidal powder into the cavity under pressure.

This puts a barrier around the house which the ants cannot cross. No more ants can enter the property and those already inside cannot get out to feed and the colony dies off.

The treatment which leaves no smell or mess and is perfectly safe for children and pets.

At the end of the three-year period it is a fairly simple and inexpensive matter to ‘top up’ the powder and extend the guarantee for a further 3 years and so on.

Cavity wall insulation does not affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

It is not possible to give an exact price without seeing your property but costs involved are generally in the range of £75.00 – £275 depending on size of property and number of walls needing to be treated etc.

These costs increase substantially in the summer months when demand is greatest and we may have a waiting list of several weeks so take advantage now in our quieter time.

Just to put your mind at rest we are discrete and use unmarked plainvehicles.

Get Rid Of Ants In Your House Permanently – Spring Special Offer

Get Rid Of Ants In Your House Permanently – spring is here and with it comes the annual scourge of ants which for many people can be nothing short of a nightmare.

In North West England the summers of 2007 & 2008 were very poor and the ants did not thrive, a respite for those who suffer ants in the house on an annual basis but already 2009 looks like it will be the summer of the ant as calls are being received already.

Those that suffer know that flying ants in the house can be a nightmare, almost impossible to cure as the nests are hidden in cavity walls and beneath floors, and the only way to destroy the nest is to kill the queen. This is all but impossible using powders and potions from hardware stores.

There are a variety of new techniques available to pest controllers now which are highly effective in dealing with ant infestations.

These range from using micro-encapsulated insecticides which stick to the worker ants’ bodies and are taken back into the nest and a special technique which effectively puts an impenetrable barrier around the house which the ants cannot cross.

This involved drilling tiny holes into the cavity walls from the outside of the property and blowing in an insecticidal powder under pressure which forms a barrier that the ants cannot cross.

This will effectively prevent the ants inside from foraging outside and dooms the colony.

We are able to give a three year guarantee which is then extendable indefinitely in periods of three years by topping up the powder.

There is no smell or odour and it is perfectly safe for children and pets and can be done whilst the property is occupied.

For a short period we are offering a 30% discount on our normal prices so for a limited period the costs would be as follows

Semi-detached house £175.00

*Detached house £225

*Terraced House £125

Prices apply throughout South Lancashire, Greater Manchester and North Cheshire, further afield work will require a supplement.

All with three year guarantee including unlimited *free call outs

On terraced & semi-detached we can only guarantee the treated walls, so if they are coming in through the untreated party wall there is little we can do unless your neighbours agree to treatment.
