π§ Expert Ant Identification & TreatmentCorrect identification is the first step toward effective ant treatment. Our specialists can assess the infestation and choose the best solution based on the ant species and the location of the nest. We typically use powder-based or gel insecticides at entry points and nest entrances, which the ants carry back to the colonyβeliminating it from the inside out.
π Common Ant Species We Treat in the UK
1. Garden Ants (Black Ants)
Small black or red ants (7mm) often found in patios and lawns, drawn to sugary foods indoors. Harmless but very persistent.
2. Flying Ants
Winged males and females appearing in late July. They donβt sting but cause nuisance during mating flights.
3. Pharaoh Ants (Red Ants)
Tiny (3.5mm), red ants with multiple queens per colony. Thrive indoors and are known to contaminate food.
4. Yellow Meadow Ants
Orange-tinged ants found in soil mounds. Mostly underground and non-aggressive.
5. Red Wood Ants
Found in forests, these ants are aggressive and defend their nests with biting and formic acid.
6. Fire Ants (Myrmica)
Red, aggressive ants with painful stings. Known for their fiery burn and allergic reactions.
7. Pavement Ants
Nest in paving cracks. Found mostly in southern England and Midlands. Will bite if disturbed.
8. Slave-Maker Ants
Large and rare in the UK. They invade other colonies and enslave the worker ants. Spray acid when threatened.
π How to Prevent Ant Infestations
Even the smallest food crumbs or moisture can attract ants. While black ants donβt sting, their numbers can quickly multiply and invade kitchens, pantries, and dining areas. Here are simple preventative steps:
- π§½ Keep surfaces clean and dry
- π Store food in sealed containers
- πͺ Seal cracks, skirting boards, and entry points
- πΎ Wipe pet food bowls regularly
- ποΈ Keep bins closed and emptied frequently
