Burntwood Flying Ant Control

Flying ants are a side effect of ants nests. Flying ants are not a different kind of ant. At particular points of the year, flying or swarming ants will emerge from existing ant nests. These flying ants are mating ants. They will swarm for a day or two and then seek to start a fresh colony. In general, flying ants outside are a nuisance but shouldn’t cause a severe risk. They can bite or sting if threatened, but rarely do so in large numbers.

Typically flying ants in the garden should simply be left to swarm. They should only do so for a couple of days each year. The best treatment for getting rid of flying ants is to destroy the nests before the time when the flying ants swarm. Specialist pest control companies can survey the area whether it’s inside your home or external and locate the ant nest. They’ll then be able to eliminate the nests by using an insecticide powder or spray.

How to get rid of flying ants

Substantial numbers of flying ants inside your home should be handled at the earliest opportunity. They are likely an indicator of ant nests inside the property, which should be destroyed quickly. Similarly, if many flying ants can be found in the garden and causing damage or injury, a professional pest control company should be engaged. The company will be able to utilise a knock down insecticide to destroy the flying ants. This should only be achieved along with locating and eliminating the nests in order to be a successful and long term treatment for a flying ant infestation.
