Ants are a common nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are advantageous to the ecosystem outside, when they are inside properties in great numbers they could be problematic. Ants do not ordinarily spread diseases, however they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can find. They can contaminate food, and it is not recommended to eat food that ants may have touched or been near. Some types of ants in the United Kingdom can sting, and are dangerous if a nest is disturbed.
There are a selection of different ant treatments that vary from preventative measures to full scale nest elimination. For some deterrent situations where ants are merely entering the building searching for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the afflicted areas will be all that is needed to discourage ants. If the issue is continual, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently travelling. This can appeal to the ants and prevent them from exploring further through the building.
For more severe ant infestations, a specialist pest control company should be hired to examine the location and give you advice on the most effective way to treat the infestation. Frequently the best method to control an ant infestation is to eliminate the nest. This is done using insecticide powder that is applied both to the nest and in the nearby area to ensure any ants that go back to the nest are affected.
