Ants are a common nuisance pest in the United Kingdom. While they are beneficial to the environment outdoors, when they are inside properties in large numbers they could be problematic. Ants do not usually spread diseases, but they will eat or take back to their nest whatever food they can get. They can contaminate food, and it is not beneficial to eat foodstuffs that ants may have touched or been near. Some species 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 range from preventative measures to full scale nest removal. For some preventative situations where ants are simply getting into the building searching for food sources, a spray with insecticide on the afflicted areas will be enough to prevent ants. If the issue is persistent, bait traps can be laid in areas where ants are frequently moving. This will entice the ants and prevent them from exploring further through the building.
For more serious ant infestations, an experienced pest control company should be hired to survey the area and advise you of the most effective approach to treat the infestation. In general the best method 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 return to the nest are affected.
