Ant Control in Glasgow & East Kirkdale
Straightforward, professional ant control for homes and businesses across Glasgow, East Kilbride and surrounding areas.
Why You Need Professional Ant Control
Ants might seem harmless at first, but once they’ve found a food source indoors, they can be persistent and difficult to shift. In homes, they’re most commonly seen in kitchens, utility rooms and ground-floor areas. In commercial settings, even a small ant problem can quickly become a hygiene concern.
Ants leave scent trails that guide others straight back to the same spot. This is why wiping surfaces or using shop-bought sprays often makes little difference. You might kill the ants you can see, but the nest remains active elsewhere, sometimes outside the property or hidden under floors.
There’s also the issue of contamination. Ants will happily travel through drains, soil and waste areas before crossing food preparation surfaces. For businesses, especially food-related premises, this can be a real problem if left untreated.
At Strathclyde Pest Control, we deal with ants properly by identifying the species, locating nesting areas and treating the source of the activity. Ben carries out all inspections himself, so you’re dealing with someone who knows what to look for and how ants behave in local properties across Glasgow and Lanarkshire.

Spring: Early scouting ants begin searching for food as temperatures rise.
Summer: Peak indoor activity. Trails become more obvious, especially during warm, dry spells.
Autumn: Activity slows, but nests can remain active if conditions stay mild.
Winter: Most ants retreat underground, though nests inside heated buildings may still cause problems.
Timing matters because treating ants at the right stage helps stop the colony establishing itself indoors.
