Ants are a widespread nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are beneficial to the ecosystem outdoors, when they are inside properties in large numbers they could be difficult. Ants do not generally pass on diseases, however they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can get. They can contaminate food, and it is not advisable 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 number of different ant treatments that range from preventative measures to full scale nest removal. For some deterrent situations where ants are simply coming into the building seeking for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the affected areas will be adequate to deter ants. If the issue is persistent, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently travelling. This will attract the ants and prevent them from venturing further into the building.
For more serious ant infestations, a professional pest control company should be hired to examine the area and advise you of the most effective way to manage the infestation. Generally the best method to control an ant infestation is to eliminate 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 return to the nest are affected.
