More Than Just The Ants You Can See
Ants can establish large colonies around kitchens, cupboards, wall voids and other hidden areas.
Simply spraying the visible ants may not reach the nest. With some species, using the wrong treatment can even cause the colony to split and spread further through the property. Signs to look out for:

The Right Treatment For The Right Ant
Effective ant control starts with identifying the species and understanding where the colony is established.
For common black ants, Valkor can use professional bait stations and targeted treatments designed to reach beyond the visible workers and tackle the colony itself.
Brown, Pharaoh and other tropical ants require a more specialist approach. Valkor uses carefully selected baits designed to avoid disturbing the colony and causing it to split into additional nests.
Depending on the infestation, treatment may also include:
- Professional baiting stations
- Targeted insecticidal treatments
- Wider property or perimeter treatment
- Pheromone trail removal
- Monitoring within high risk areas
- Treatment of satellite colonies
Questions & answers
Looking for answers? Explore our help section or contact us if you need more support.
Why do ants keep coming back?
Visible ants are usually only a small part of the colony. If the nest or queen remains active, the ants can continue returning.
Should I spray ants myself?
This depends on the species. Some specialist ants can respond to inappropriate sprays by splitting into additional colonies, making identification important before treatment begins.
Can Valkor treat ants throughout the house?
Yes. Treatment can be expanded across multiple areas where activity indicates that more than one nest or satellite colony may be present.
How much does ant control cost?
Black ant treatments start from £210, while specialist brown and tropical ant treatments are more involved.
