Can anyone recommend a pest control company for ants in London?

We are inundated I think because of DD weaning, as much as we clean they keep coming back. Also in bathroom (next door to kitchen) they seem to be eating rotting wood or similar not food so we can't eradicate that.

Happy to pay professionals to sort it out! We've tried bait traps, the white powder, vinegar spray to destroy the trails....

Thank you!

There are a type of ant that are attracted to damp wood so try looking for the source of any dampness. My husband is a pest controller (not in London though) and is finding a lot of ants in seletex insulation material so as well as killing the ants you need to find the source. . Not many councils do provide pest control anymore but if you look at somewhere like check a trade or local Facebook and ask for some local independent companies is best. The big names charge big prices!
