Do you have a problem with ants in the house? Although not a major pest, ants in the house or garden can be a real pain. The problem can become worse in the warmer weather when ants are at their peak. And once they find their way in they will continually be in your kitchen due to their scent trails.
Although they are less likely to carry disease than other pests like cockroaches they can still bring in unknown pathogens, depending on where they have been.
Survey: On appointment day Our professionally trained technician (Ants exterminator) will survey your property to find the source of the problem.
Ants Treatment: The Treatment depends on the Infestation but the Most effective treatments are Gel Injection Treatment, Insecticide & Powder Treatment. These treatments start showing results within 15 Minutes.
Ants are very common in the UK. The black ant and the flying ant are actually the same species. This is the one you are more likely to be aware of and see around your home and garden. The carpenter ant naturally lives in forests but can invade the home too. A third ant, mostly found in warm buildings, such as bakeries or with machines giving off lots of heat is the Pharoah ant.
Black ants are very common in the UK and normally reside in gardens. They can make nests in lawns and reside in colonies of normally around 4,000-7,000 but can reach sizes of 40,000 workers in rare cases. Each colony has one queen and the rest are workers. Males are produced for reproduction.
As ants mate on the wing each year they produce a host of flying ants during the mating season. In the UK this is normally during the warmer weather between June and September. Once mated the queen digests her wings and burrows into the moist ground to create a nest. She then lays eggs and the eggs hatch after 8-10 weeks. The first workers then expand the nest and take care of the queen. Her egg-laying capacity then increases too.
Worker ants can live for at least four years and queens for almost fifteen years.
Ants leave chemical trails for other ants to follow and are attracted to sugary food. Their diet consists of nectar, small insects and fruit. Ants will ‘farm’ aphids for the sticky honeydew secretion these insects excrete.
If you have a lot of ants in your garden it is likely that you will soon find ants in the house too!
