Sheffield's hills, valleys, student housing areas and city apartments give ants many routes. We trace each trail, find the nest and treat it, indoors or out.
Sheffield's steelmaking heritage left a city built over hills and river valleys on the edge of the Peak District, with Victorian terraces climbing the slopes. Retaining walls, steps and small gardens on those slopes make good ant ground, and the trail from a sunny wall to the kitchen is short. Where the city meets open land, nests in banks and verges are another source.
Large student housing areas mean many shared houses where kitchens are busy and bins fill quickly, and a city centre full of apartments means trails can run between flats along service ducts. We start inside where the ants appear, then work outside, and treat the nest or entry point. We deal with landlords, agents and tenants, and Sheffield jobs are covered by our free surveys for homes and businesses.
That depends on the tenancy agreement and on where the nest is. We can supply a written quote and talk to the landlord or agent, so everyone knows who is responsible and what is planned before any work begins.
Yes. We cover Leeds, West Yorkshire and surrounding Yorkshire towns, including Sheffield, which is in South Yorkshire, not West Yorkshire. Call 0113 347 0014 to talk through your property, the ants you are seeing and a suitable time for a survey.

Read the advice →Once an ant trail has gone, the aim is to stop another starting. Prevention is mostly small habits and a few repairs, and it works well when you tackle food, moisture and gaps together.
Read the advice →Shop-bought treatments can handle a small, simple trail. They struggle when the nest is hidden or the colony is large. Here is how to decide, and what to look for if you hire someone.
