£220 house, £190 flat. Two numbers, no extras — and a genuine chance we will tell you not to spend either of them.
£220 for a house and £190 for a flat. No call-out fee, no assessment fee, no per-visit charging.
And there is a real chance you do not need it. Ants are the pest we most often tell people to deal with themselves, and we would rather do that than take a booking.
| Service | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Ant control — house | £220 | Inspection inside and out, trail and entry treatment, nest treatment where located, follow-up |
| Ant control — flat | £190 | The same, on a smaller footprint |
| Assessment and advice | £0 | Not charged separately |
| Call-out fee | £0 | We do not have one |
The £30 difference reflects the garden more than the house. On a Stanmore plot the job is usually outdoors — finding and treating the nest that is feeding the indoor trail.

View Ant Control Stanmore →| Do | Then |
|---|---|
| Remove every food source — including under a high chair or bin rim | Wait 3 days |
| Clean the entire trail route with detergent | Wait 3 days |
| Follow the trail outside and note where it enters | Seal that point |
| Keep surfaces dry and the bin closed | Wait a week |
| Still there? | That is when to call |
A good proportion of ant enquiries stop somewhere in that table. It costs a tube of sealant.
If a fortnight of wiping surfaces and one tube of silicone fixes it, that was not a job worth £220 — and we would rather say so than invoice you.
| Concern | Reality |
|---|---|
| Eat wood like termites | No. There are no termites in UK homes |
| Damage structure | No |
| Undermine a patio | Excavation can loosen sand between slabs over years — cosmetic |
| Damage a lawn | Ant hills are unsightly rather than harmful |
| Damage electrics | Not black garden ants |
| Bite or sting | Black garden ants are harmless |
| Contaminate food | Yes — the real reason to deal with indoor trails |
The honest case for treating ants is food contamination and nuisance, not damage. We would rather make the accurate argument.
A tenant reporting summer ants is usually reporting a food source and an open threshold rather than an infestation. It is worth asking what they have tried before authorising £220 — and a tube of sealant at the back door often settles it.
Yes, and it happens more on ants than any other pest we deal with.
The free steps above, done properly. That is the honest answer.
Not as a service. They are cosmetic, and green woodpeckers rather like them.
Wasps are the summer insect that does need dealing with — £90 fixed in Stanmore, guaranteed for 30 days.
£220 for a house and £190 for a flat, with no call-out fee and no charge for the assessment.
A garden, more external wall, a patio or decking with nests beneath, a subfloor void, and more rooms to follow a trail through.
Remove every food source, clean the whole trail route with detergent, follow the trail outside and seal the entry point, then wait a week.
A trail that returns after the free steps, ants in stored food repeatedly, a nest inside the structure, or year-round indoor activity.
No. We treat the nest causing the indoor problem, not every nest on the plot — a large garden will have many.
No. They do not eat wood — there are no termites in UK homes — and they do not damage structure. Food contamination is the real reason to treat.
Not as a service. They are cosmetic, and green woodpeckers feed on them.
Yes, and it happens more on ants than any other pest we deal with.
£220 house, £190 flat — and a genuine chance we will tell you to try the free steps first.
