Ants are a widespread nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are helpful to the ecosystem outdoors, when they are inside properties in large numbers they can be difficult. Ants do not ordinarily pass on diseases, however they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can find. They can contaminate food, and it is not beneficial to eat foodstuffs that ants may have touched or been near. Some types of ants in the UK 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 removal. For some deterrent situations where ants are merely coming into the building seeking for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the affected areas will be adequate to deter ants. If the problem is persistent, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently moving. This will draw in the ants and stop them from exploring further into the building.
For more serious ant infestations, a specialist pest control company should be hired to survey the location and advise you of the most effective method to treat the infestation. Generally the best method 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 affected.
