Professional Ant Control in Plumstead
Plumstead's ant work concentrates on the small paved yards of the terraces and the free-draining ground up around the commons. A nest under a yard slab or a doorstep is centimetres from the kitchen, which is why the trail appears where it does.
Paved Yards and Common Edges
The terraced housing here mostly has a small hard-surfaced yard rather than a lawn, and warm paving over well-drained ground is close to ideal for an ant nest. Fine excavated soil pushed up between slabs, at the edge of a path or on a doorstep is the nest telling you where it is - and the trail indoors is the line back to it.
Higher up, around Plumstead Common, Winns Common and Shrewsbury Park, the gardens are larger and the nests are more often in bare ground, under a step or against a wall. Same principle, different place to look.
Leave the trail and do not spray it. The line is the map to the nest, and heavy chemical disturbance can split a colony into several in new places - turning one trail into three.

Signs You May Need Ant Control in Plumstead
The full list is on the Ant Control Greenwich page.
- A trail that disappears into a gap. Under a doorstep, into a wall, behind a kickboard or down beside a pipe - that is the direction the nest is in.
- Small piles of fine soil. Between paving slabs, at the edge of a path or on a doorstep, pushed up as the nest is excavated.
- Activity indoors in early spring. Which usually means the nest is in or against the building rather than out in the garden.
How We Deal With Ants in Plumstead
We follow the trail to where it leaves the building and treat the colony with bait the workers carry home, or treat the nest directly where a slab or step gives access.

The nest looks like it is in next door's yard. Can you still treat it?
We can treat your side and bait the trail, which reaches the colony through the workers. If the nest is established on a neighbouring property we will say so - a mature colony over the boundary makes any result on your side a temporary one.
