Your Ant
problem,
solved NOW.
If you have tried bleach or sprays and still have a problem it’s because those surface treatments only kill the worker ants you can see. Behind them is your real problem — a colony of 4,000 to 7,000 ants with a queen underground who can live for up to 29 years.
Garden ant infestations in London peak June to July — and if yours isn’t treated before the flying ant season your problem will get significantly worse. The Pied Piper is BPCA-certified and eliminates your nest, not just the ants on your surfaces. 100% guaranteed.
We apply professional-grade treatments including Maxforce gel bait, residual sprays and insecticidal dust — targeting the nest directly for maximum colony elimination.
We return to carry out a follow-up treatment, targeting any remaining activity and applying preventative treatment to stop the problem returning.
Once your property is confirmed clear we provide a full digital inspection report which is your written proof that the ant infestation has been professionally eliminated.
Amazing Service! 5 Star! The issue I had, I thought it could never be resolved. After having a previous Pest Control company treat it and a few months later the pests tripled! I contacted The Pied Piper Pest Control and they took the problem into their hands made me feel so relieved as they assured me they would not stop treating until the problem was completely solved. This is the type of service you don’t always come across. As promised, they visited my premises until the pests were completely clear. Thank you to Tony and to his great team! I would definitely recommend to everyone. Great service.
Very happy with the professional, friendly, efficient and speedy response from The Pied Piper to sort out a rat problem. Technicians are friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely use again in the future and happy to recommend The Pied Piper
Currently using them for a pest control contract as our last company let us down badly. Spend the time doing the job properly and turning up on time and when they say they will. Can't ask for much more than that
CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT I have been working with this company since 2008 across six of my restaurants and I have to say I haven’t had one bad experience. I don’t normally write reviews but I really felt like I owed these guys as I believe they deserve all the recognition. They have been consistently good, any issues I had in any of the restaurants, they were there and never left until the issue was resolved. Thank you so much guys..
The Pied Piper has provided excellent service with quick response times for both emails and quotes. Their service is outstanding and their work ethic is invaluable. They provide consistent and regular report updates, keeping us in the loop at all times. By far one of the best service providers in the pest control industry.
Superb service and friendly staff. Used them twice now and had a problem with mice, the technician was on time and thorough and wore his overshoes so my wife was happy.
The Technician that came round assessed the problem and dealt with it professionally 1st class service
I own a property in London that has had an ongoing issue with Bedbugs. We have had other pest control treatments in the past and none have worked. I called the Pied Piper late on Friday afternoon and was given a price on the spot with an information sheet for how my tenants needed to prepare the property. We were advised that it would take 3 treatments as the infestation was really bad. We have now had all the 3 treatments and 8 weeks on we are still clear. Fantastic service at a great price. From the ladies who answer the phone to the technician who carried out the treatment the service was second to none.
Had a program of treatments done recently for a mouse problem we had in our house. They were on time and very thorough. The problem was all gone in two visits but they still came for the third and made sure all was ok. Very professional
Far superior customer service than other companies I have used. Gave a service that was not only professional but very thorough. Their guy came in a smart uniform and wore his shoe covers. Been two months and no problems.
Absolute amazing service. I called and they responded very quickly, super friendly service and great rates, I am a very happy customer would recommend to anyone with these issues.
Brilliant at what they do & a fast reliable & friendly service always. Highly recommended
We got our lives back!! We had an infestation of bed bugs under my sons new bed. We just could not get rid of them. We called around and were quoted prices in the thousands.... We called Pied piper in - they were fantastic. In total they made 3 visits over a few weeks. Their time keeping was exceptional. Their service was professional and kept us informed of progress after each visit. Thank you Pied Piper. We can sleep easy again.
Tony and the team at Pied Piper were a pleasure to deal with: responsive, efficient, and diligent in resolving my infestation problem. I chose Pied Piper because of the uniformly positive reviews online, and I was not disappointed.
Outstanding company, exceptional service Tony and his team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, we were stressed due to the infestation. Tony got it done in 2 weeks and checked up on us to ensure the job was done honestly I couldn’t recommend a better company (I live in London review says I’m in US for some reason)
Great company. Turn up on time and know their stuff!! Would highly recommend.
I used pied piper for my ant infestation and they are 10/10 service was excellent. Most definitely recommend this company.
Highly recommend pied piper come to me problem with rats explained everything didn't rush cannot thank them enough was really worried about this I would have given 10 stars if I could will definitely use again thank you so much Aaron and Callum
I have experienced many different pest control firms in the last 10years for a number of different properties & after much disappointment this last year in particular with the lack of detail on required proofing, I researched a number of firms & came across The Pied Piper who I have been extremely impressed with i.e., their fast responses/replies, their frankness & their attention to detail - example; photos of holes/gaps that need proofing & materials to use & guidance on how best to do the proofing to achieve the best end result.
We have a stream nearby and we're mortified to see rats in our garden which we believed was the source. I would strongly recommend this company for their efficient professional and prompt service. Highly competitive in their charges and thorough in their service keeping you informed throughout. I found them reassuring and helpful at a very worrying time. My neighbours were impressed and have used them also and they too are happy and recommending their service to others.
Had an issue with mice/rat under the floorboard on the ground floor. Tony came out and put rat poison and a camera to see what we were dealing with. We have eventually irradicated the problem thanks to his many years of experience and knowledge of the issues in hand. Service A+ Pricing A+ Professional and I can highly recommend their service that they provide.
This is my second time of dealing with The Pied Piper but for a different pest issue. Their team of technicians/specialists go above and beyond in pest control and dare I say, in my opinion, they are heroes. Knowing that I am totally and unreasonably paranoid regarding pests (bed bugs, rats and other creepy crawlies, you name them...), their expertise in challenging any pest related issues is so reassuring. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to their clients, their work dedication and integrity, no matter how small or big is the job. They won't rest until they have identified and eradicated the pest problem. I always recommend them without hesitation because I trust them implicitly. They arrive on time; they respect you and your property and they always tell you what they are doing and why. And they get results. Note: My review is based on my personal experience and reflects my genuine appreciation for the outstanding services I received from The Pied Piper team. This is my second review of them and my views have not changed.
Kitchen ant trails signal entry for food. Small soil piles near patios indicate nesting sites. Summer brings peak activity with flying ants emerging from cracks. Straight-line movement indicates established chemical trails to food sources. Daily sightings mean colonies identified your home as reliable food source. Professional treatment targets nests eliminating sources before the problem gets out of hand. Contact The Pied Piper for professional ant pest control in London
Ants invade homes seeking food (especially sweets) and water from leaks and damp patches. They enter through door gaps, window cracks, and pipe spaces. Scout ants leave chemical markers attracting entire colonies rapidly. Prevention requires clean surfaces, sealed food storage, leak repairs, and gap sealing. Professional treatments target colonies directly for persistent problems.
Black garden ants don’t bite, lacking mouthparts to break human skin. Red ants (Myrmica rubra) sting when threatened, causing pinprick sensations and red bumps—harmless unless allergic. Garden ants become pests by invading kitchens seeking food, not attacking people. Persistent ant problems require professional pest control intervention for effective elimination and prevention strategies.
Flying ants appear during summer on warm, humid days when winged reproductive ants swarm to mate. Males die after mating whilst fertilized queens establish new colonies. Though not dangerous, they’re nuisances. Manage swarms by keeping windows closed, using screens, and vacuuming. Repeated infestations require professional pest control eliminating root causes effectively.
Ants don’t damage house structures like termites but dig under paving slabs causing wobbling, create soil piles, and occasionally nest in wall cavities or electrical boxes. The real problem is kitchen contamination from bins to food preparation areas. Prevention requires clean surfaces, proper food storage, and sealing gaps. Professional help eliminates multiple garden nest infestations.
Common garden ants don’t harm pets, just fleeing when approached. Red ants sting if provoked causing temporary discomfort. Pet food attracts ants heavily, making pets refuse eating. Prevention requires scheduled feeding times, washing bowls immediately, storing dry food in sealed containers, and sealing entry points around feeding areas. Professional treatments eliminate persistent problems safely.
Call professional ant pest control when when DIY treatments fail repeatedly, ant trails appear daily despite cleaning efforts, multiple nests exist around your property, ants contaminate food areas regularly, flying ants emerge indoors frequently, or colonies nest in wall cavities and inaccessible locations. Early professional intervention prevents severe infestations and provides long-term solutions protecting your home effectively.
Professional ant pest control typically shows visible improvement within 3-7 days, with complete colony elimination achieved within 7-14 days. Unlike DIY sprays that only kill ants on contact, professional gel baits work by allowing worker ants to carry poison back to the nest, feeding it to larvae and the queen. During this period, you may still see some ant activity as workers transport the bait—this is actually a sign the treatment is working. Avoid cleaning ant trails or using household sprays during treatment, as this interferes with the bait-carrying process. Our BPCA-certified treatments are 100% guaranteed, and most London homes remain ant-free for the entire season following our two-visit treatment programme.
