Ants in County Fermanagh

Ants are a widespread annoyance pest in the UK. While they are advantageous to the environment outdoors, when they are inside properties in large numbers they can be problematic. Ants do not typically spread diseases, but 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 foodstuffs that ants may have touched or been near. Some kinds 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 range from precautionary 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 affected areas will be all that is needed to discourage ants. If the problem is consistent, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently travelling. This will appeal to the ants and prevent them from travelling further through the building.

For much more serious ant infestations, an experienced pest control company should be hired to study the area and give you advice on the most effective way to deal with the infestation. Frequently the easiest way to control an ant infestation is to remove the nest. This can be done using insecticide powder that is applied both to the nest and in the surrounding area to ensure any ants that go back to the nest are eradicated.
