Ants are a common nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are beneficial to the environment in the garden, when they are inside properties in large 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 get. 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 variety of different ant treatments that vary from precautionary measures to full scale nest eradication. For most deterrent situations where ants are simply getting into the building looking for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the afflicted areas will be all that is needed to discourage ants. If the problem is continual, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently travelling. This will draw in the ants and stop them from going further through the building.
For much more serious ant infestations, an experienced pest control company should be hired to survey the area and give you advice on the most effective technique to treat the infestation. Often the simplest way 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 immediate area to ensure any ants that return to the nest are eradicated.
