Insect Control Nottingham – Garden Ants
Garden Ant control
The most common ant found in the UK is the Black Ant or garden ant. It is found in a wide variety of habitats and is common in urban and suburban locations. A heady cocktail of grass, flower beds and sun-warmed paving is particularly appealing to the ant.
They feed on a variety of foods and ants living close to property readily come inside to feed on food remains. Ants live in nests which are typically located in the soil, often below paving slabs, in building foundations and sometimes 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 generates the flying ant on humid days in summer, behaviour connected with breeding.
At NG Pest Control, we control ants with a combination 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.
