Ants are a distressing sight when they enter your home in numbers, especially when they make it as far as your kitchen cupboards. They also make a nuisance of themselves outside, often found on lawns, flower beds, on driveways and at the base of exterior walls.
Ants nests can be really annoying when you are trying to enjoy your garden, and can get everywhere. Little ones love a creepy-crawly and can quickly become covered head to toe if they come across a nest. Although they are unlikely to come to any harm it’s not pleasant, especially if you are squeamish about insects. In the warmer months, flying ants can drive you to distraction as they swarm in large numbers.
There are plenty of domestic methods of getting rid of ants and numerous ant killer products, but as tempting as it may be to reach for one, they are rarely effective. Only the female worker ants are visible above ground, the nest can hold thousands more, plus the next generation tucked up in their cocoons. Therefore, a home ant treatment will only tackle the pests you can see. Exterminate will get rid of an ant infestation for good, by destroying the nest, which is the work of a professional pest controller.
Black ants are the type we see most often. While virtually harmless, they are a real nuisance in large numbers. These are the pests that will likely head indoors scavenging about for food, and often find their way into sugar bowls, cereal packets and fruit baskets. Their natural diet is insects and nectar, and as such they are attracted to sweet, sticky substances which we often have in our kitchens.
Black ants nest underground in dry soil, leaving a tell-tale mound above ground. Ant colonies can number around 6,000, although successful colonies can number tens of thousands. Each colony is presided over by a queen, and the females are the worker ants, leaving the nest to find food. The winged males are stirred in spring when the weather turns warm, and take to the skies in a mating ritual which is sometimes called ‘flying ant season’.
Black ants are social, impressively organised and not averse to a bit of hard work. They will walk a relatively long way to find a source of food and leave a pheromone trail behind them so that they, and their extended ant family, can find their way back. This is why you see lines of marching ants outside and indoors, following the trail in the hope for their next meal.
It is crucial to solve an ant infestation without hesitation as they can quickly get out of control.
