£190 for a flat. The interesting part is not the price — it is how ants got to a second-floor kitchen in the first place, because that determines whether treatment will hold.
Professional ant treatment at a flat in Wealdstone — dealing with the colony producing the indoor activity, rather than the ants visible on the worktop.
A house is £220. The £30 difference is property size; ant work concentrates on the route and the colony behind it.
The £190 is the same either way, but what the treatment is dealing with differs considerably.
Usually straightforward. A nest outside — under a paving slab, in a border, at the junction where the path meets the building — and a route in at ground level. The same pattern as a house, and often resolvable by sealing the junction and removing the food.
