£190 or £220. But the more useful question is whether you need an exterminator at all — and for ants, quite often you do not.
A flat is £190. A house is £220.
The prior question matters more. Ants are the pest where DIY most often succeeds and where we most often tell people they do not need us. Work through the checklist below before booking.
If they are back after that, you have a real problem. If not, you have saved £190 or £220 and we would rather that than the alternative.

View Ant Control Wealdstone →For rats and mice the flat-to-house difference is £50. For ants it is £30, because ant work is concentrated rather than distributed.
A rodent problem ranges across a whole property. An ant problem is usually one route and one colony, and a bigger house does not automatically mean more of either.
| Over-the-counter spray | Professional treatment | |
|---|---|---|
| Targets | The ants you can see | The colony sending them |
| Effect on the colony | None | Direct |
| Typical result | New trail within a day | Activity stops |
| Speed | Instant, briefly | Slower, then permanent |
This is why a treatment that seems slow is usually working properly. Reaching a colony through its own workers takes time, and that is the mechanism rather than a failure of it.
If this is a café, restaurant, takeaway or food retail business, neither published price applies. Commercial requirements vary too much, and documentation frequently matters as much as treatment. Tell us about the premises.
No. Ants are priced by property, because treating a trail properly means addressing the colony and route behind it.
No.
If the route is still open and there is a colony nearby, seasonal recurrence is possible. Sealing the route breaks that cycle.
One price that genuinely never varies — wasp nest treatment in Wealdstone is £90 fixed cost, house or flat, guaranteed.

Often not. Follow the trail, remove the food, clean the route and seal the entry — then wait a fortnight.
Ant work concentrates on one route and one colony, so property size matters less than for rodents.
No.
No — that is building work. We will tell you where the route is.
It reaches the colony through its own workers. A spray is instant and temporary; treatment is slower and permanent.
