Fast Ant Control Norfolk & Norwich From Acorn Pest Management
The Dangers Of An Ant Infestation
Ants might seem less dangerous than other insect pests, such as fleas, moths, wasps or bees, but they can quickly become just as much of a nuisance. Because ants enter and leave through small holes in your home’s exterior, they could potentially damage the foundations of your property. Some species, like carpenter ants, chew wood for their nests, so this can damage furniture and beams in your home.
Everyone knows ants love sweet foods, but they will eat practically anything, which means they easily contaminate food and make it inedible. For farms and agricultural properties, ants can damage stored food as well as irritating livestock.
Businesses such as food service and healthcare providers also need to be particularly vigilant, which is why Acorn Pest Management offers expert ant removal as part of our commercial pest control service. Whether you’re a homeowner, business leader or farmer in Norfolk, Norwich, Dereham, Kings Lynn, Swaffham, Cromer and the surrounding area, call 07725878712 for fast ant pest control.

Environmentally-Friendly Ant Control Services Across Norfolk
When ants invade homes or business premises, they often build their nests outside in gardens or fields, as ants like to make mounds from soil in secluded areas. The worker ants will then leave the nest to find food for the queen ant and her young.
Because ant infestations often occur both inside and out, many ant control chemicals can leach into the soil and cause damage to the surrounding eco-system, as well as potentially harming children, pets and livestock.
That’s why Acorn Pest Management is committed to using eco-friendly solutions to eradicate ants without harming non-target species or damaging the local habitat. Our team use a combination of techniques to treat ants and ensure they can’t return while also protecting the environment. Contact us today to book your ant control visit.
Ant Control FAQs
What Ant Species Are Found In The UK?
The most common ant species found in the UK is the black ant, also known as the black garden ant. In the summer, sexually mature black ants grow wings and fly, becoming what are known as flying ants. Other ants found in the UK include carpenter ants, red ants, and pharaoh ants.
Do Ants Damage Houses?
Ants can cause damage to your home’s structure, leading to expensive repairs. Some ant species, such as carpenter ants, can chew through wooden beams or doors, causing significant damage. Also, if ants use holes in your home’s exterior as entry points, these can get larger and weaken the foundations of your property.
Does Vinegar Really Kill Ants?
Vinegar does not kill ants, but it can be used to destroy their ant trails and make it harder for other ants to find entry points. Still, vinegar is not effective against an ant infestation, and can be smelly and unappealing. Professional ant control is advised to ensure that your ant problem is gone for good and can’t come back.
Is It Possible To Prevent Ants?
There are never any guarantees when it comes to pest prevention, but there are some simple ways you can reduce the chances of ants getting inside your home. These include storing food in an airtight container, keeping your space clean to avoid crumbs, and sealing cracks in the foundations and exterior that could allow ants access to your space.
