Efficient Ant Control Across Doncaster
Ants might not be as destructive as moths, nor as frightening as wasps, bed bugs or fleas, but they can still be a nuisance if they enter your space.
A few ants might not seem like a problem, but ants use pheromone trails to lead other ants to promising food sources.
So, you may quickly find yourself dealing with an ant infestation just a few hours after your first sighting.
While ants are moth prevalent in summer, if a colony can build a nest inside a warm space you may notice ant activity throughout the year.
Don Valley Pest Management has the expertise to treat ants safely and solve your ant problem permanently. We eliminate the ant infestation on the first try, and will fill in any holes in your property’s exterior to prevent the problem from returning in the future.

Signs Of An Ant Infestation
Common signs of an ant infestation include:
- Sightings: Ants are a relatively large insect pest, and so you’re likely to see them, particularly as they move in lines throughout your home.
- Mounds Of Soil: If you notice clumps of soil, particularly close to the outside of your home or in your garden, this could be an ant nest.
- Small Piles Of Chewed Wood: While people think they eat wood, carpenter ants just chew through it to create nests, which means you might notice small piles of wood shavings, sometimes known as frass.
If you notice any signs of ants or other pests, call 07798 792774 and a member of our friendly team will be happy to discuss our ant control services with you.

Ant Control Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Do Ants Eat?
Ants are omnivorous and will eat almost anything, including plant matter, fruits, vegetables, grains and even dead insects or flesh. Ants are attracted to sugary substances, so they are particularly fond of uncovered drinks or snacks.
Q: What Attracts Ants?
Ants are attracted by food sources, as well as convenient gaps in exterior walls that make it easy for them to enter your space in search of food. Open pet food or bins, as well as crumbs of food or items in unsealed containers can attract ants. Once they’ve found a food source, ants will use pheromone trails to alert other worker ants who will come and retrieve food to take back to the nest. So, what starts as a few ant sightings could quickly turn into a serious ant problem.
Q: What Is The Best Way To Get Rid Of Ants?
The most effective way to get rid of ants is to work with experts like Don Valley Pest Management.
