Ant Control Netherlands: Getting rid of ants in the home and garden effectively
Do you suffer from ants and are looking for professional ant control netherlands? Then you have come to the right place at Janssen Pest Control. After all, ants seem harmless, but a colony can consist of hundreds to millions of them that invade your home in search of food. That is why Janssen Pest Control offers effective ant control netherlands in which we locate the nest and eliminate the entire colony for final resolution.
Why Ants Are So Difficult to Control
Ants live in organised colonies with one or more queens that continuously produce new ants. If you control only the visible ants, the nest remains intact and new workers keep entering. Moreover, ants lay scent trails, causing thousands of ants to follow the same route to food. In addition, they can have nests meters away from where you see them. This complexity makes professional ant control netherlands with nest-localisation essential.
Our nest-focused approach
We focus on finding and eliminating the entire nest including queen(s). Indeed, this approach is the only way for lasting results. Moreover, we use modern bait gel methods where ants carry the poison to the nest and eliminate the entire colony, including queen and larvae.

Why choose Our Ant Control?
At ant control netherlands knowledge of ant behaviour and nest location is crucial. This is why Janssen Pest Control stands out as an ant specialist:
Expertise in Nest Localisation
Our exterminators are trained to follow ant routes back to the nest. Indeed, we observe their behaviour, follow the routes and identify the location: in gardens (under tiles, in lawns), in walls (cavity walls, gable cracks), or under buildings (foundation, crawl space). This detection is essential because treatment without nest elimination is always temporary.
Modern Lure Gel Technology
Our primary method is professional bait gel that works specifically for ants:
- Delayed operation: The poison does not kill ants immediately, giving them time to carry it to the nest and share it with other ants and the queen.
- Attractive: The gel contains sugars that ants find irresistible, meaning guaranteed uptake.
- Safe for environment: The gel is applied in small amounts in strategic places, out of reach of children and pets.
This method creates a chain reaction where the entire colony is eliminated within 1-3 weeks.
Garden and home-friendly methods
We prefer to use methods that do not damage your garden and home. No digging, no major building interventions - just strategically placed bait stations. We also advise on natural repellents and prevention that keep your garden healthy. This sustainable approach suits modern gardening.
Seasonal guarantee
Ants are mostly active from April to October. We therefore offer seasonal guarantee: if ants return during the same season after our treatment, we will come back for post-treatment free of charge. This guarantee shows our confidence in the effectiveness of our method.

Our Approach: Step-by-step Ant Control
We use a proven method at ant control netherlands which focuses on nest-elimination:
Step 1: Species determination and Nest Localisation
Our specialist identifies the ant species - usually black road ants (garden) or brown road ants (house). This determination is important because each species exhibits different behaviour. We then observe the ant routes and follow them back to the nest. We also inspect potential nest locations: under tiles, in lawn, in cavity walls, behind cladding, under floors. This detective work is crucial for successful control.
Step 2: Strategic Bait Placement Gel
We professionally place bait gel on the active ant routes between food source and nest. Ants are attracted to the gel, eat from it and carry it to the nest to share with other workers, the queen and larvae. In fact, the gel is applied in small drops or in sealed bait stations, completely safe for children and pets. This method works within 24-48 hours but complete nest elimination takes 1-3 weeks.
Step 3: Barrier Treatment (If Needed)
If the nest is out of reach (deep in cavity wall, under foundation), we create a barrier around your home. We spray residual insecticides along the façade, around windows and doors, and at access points. Ants that pass this barrier die before they can enter. In addition, this barrier prevents new colonies from establishing.
Step 4: Direct Nest Treatment (If Possible)
When we locate the nest in accessible areas (garden, terrace), we treat it immediately:
- Powder treatment: Insecticide powder is applied into the nest, acting within hours.
- Liquid injection: For nests in the ground, we inject liquid that soaks the nest.
- Hot water: Environmentally friendly alternative for small nests in the garden (literally boils the nest).
Step 5: Prevention and Advice
After elimination, we advise on prevention:
- Food storage and hygiene (removing crumbs)
- Sealing access points (gaps in facade, under doors)
- Garden landscaping (replace tiles on sand with cement, maintain lawn)
- Natural defences (lavender, mint, citronella)
Step 6: Verification and Guarantee
After 2-3 weeks, we perform a check-up. If ants are still active, we post-treat at no cost. Upon complete elimination, you will receive advice to prevent ants in the future. Our seasonal guarantee remains active until October.
