Homes and businesses across Epping — a market town on the edge of Epping Forest, with a long historic high street, period housing near the centre and newer estates towards the forest edge — can run into problems with ants just like anywhere in Hertfordshire. Seeing the occasional ant outdoors is normal. Hundreds of ants travelling through kitchens, around doors or across work surfaces is another matter entirely. Ant colonies may be located beneath patios, inside walls, under floors or around the foundations of a property.
What's Usually Going On
Seeing the occasional ant outdoors is normal. Hundreds of ants travelling through kitchens, around doors or across work surfaces is another matter entirely. Ant colonies may be located beneath patios, inside walls, under floors or around the foundations of a property.
Signs to Look Out For
Simply killing visible ants often doesn't solve the underlying problem because the colony remains active.
In Epping specifically, we'd also encourage you to think about the age and construction of your property — older buildings with original brickwork and timber tend to offer more potential access points than newer, tightly-built homes.
