Ants Found in the UK

The most common ant found in the UK is the Black Ant or garden ant. It is seen in a wide variety of habitats and is prevalent in urban and suburban locations. A heady cocktail of managed grass, flower beds and sun-warmed paving is especially attractive to the ant. They feed upon a wide range of foods and ants living near to property readily come inside to feed upon food remains.

Ants live in nests which are typically located in the soil, frequently below paving slabs, in building foundations and occasionally in the cavity walls of buildings. Each nest comprises a queen ant, numerous workers (which are 2mm to 5mm in length and are the most commonly seen), some males and some juveniles. There can be thousands of ants in one nest and a nest can persist for a few years. This species of ant produces the flying ant on humid days in summer months, behaviour connected with breeding.

Ant Control

Ants can be controlled with a mix of insecticides and gel baits which can only be used by qualified pest controllers. Experience in gaining control over ant colonies is crucial to get the most effective results and is something we are experts in. Call now for a free consultation.
