Ants are a common pest problem for many UK homes and businesses. While they’re not as hazardous as other pests, an infestation is never a good sign, and can be distressing.
They might not be as much of a health risk as other pest problems like wasps, cockroaches, flies and fleas, but an ant infestation can be very unsightly. Furthermore, they do have the potential to spread diseases by contaminating food.
For businesses, ants can cause serious issues, including site shutdowns by the local authority. Thankfully, Pest In Peace offers domestic and commercial pest control services across Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Stockport, Congleton and throughout Cheshire.

Signs Of An Ant Infestation
Ants might be small, but these hard workers are surprisingly easy to spot. While the most obvious sign is seeing ants scurrying around, other common signs include:
- Lumps Of Dirt: Small piles of dirt close to your home or in your garden can be a ant nest.
- Piles Of Wood Shavings: Piles of wood shavings, known as frass, could be sign of carpenter ants.
- Discarded Wings: If you see discarded wings, these could be from flying ants, or other flying insects such as flies.
- Trails Of Ants: Ants use pheromones to alert other ants to the presence of food and shelter, so you may see lines of ants walking throughout your property.

Fast Ant Control In Cheshire With Guaranteed Results
If you’ve noticed any signs of an ant infestation, you should work with us to get them removed as soon as possible. Ants won’t leave on their own, especially if they’ve built a nest on your property and found a tasty food source.
Most over-the-counter or home remedies for ants simply don’t work. White vinegar or peppermint oil are common DIY ant control methods, but they’re not nearly strong enough to get rid of an infestation.
Instead, you need the professional pest control service provided by Pest In Peace.
A trained RSPH Level 2 team member can visit your home, inspect the infestation and begin using professional-grade ant gel and spray treatments to eradicate the ants. We’ll then be able to remove the nest and get your home or business back on track.
