Ants are a common nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are beneficial to the ecosystem in the garden, when they are inside properties in large numbers they can be difficult. Ants do not usually spread diseases, however they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can locate. They can contaminate food, and it is not beneficial to eat food that ants may have touched or been near. Some varieties of ants in the UK can sting, and are dangerous if a nest is disturbed.
There are a range of different ant treatments that range from preventative measures to full scale nest eradication. For most precautionary situations where ants are merely entering the building seeking for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the affected areas will be all that is needed to deter ants. If the problem is continual, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently travelling. This will entice the ants and stop them from venturing further into the building.
For more serious ant infestations, a specialist pest control company should be hired to study the location and give you advice on the best technique to handle the infestation. In general the simplest way to control an ant infestation is to remove 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 eradicated.
