Channel Islands Flying Ant Control

Flying ants are a side effect of ants nests. Flying ants aren’t a distinct species of ant. At certain points of the year, flying or swarming ants will emerge from existing ant nests. These flying ants are mating ants. They’ll swarm for a day or two and then seek to begin a fresh colony. Generally, flying ants outside are a nuisance but should not cause a severe risk. They can bite or sting if threatened, but almost never do so in large numbers.

Specialist pest control companies can survey the area whether it’s in your home or external and identify the ant nest. They will then be able to eliminate the nests by using an insecticide powder or spray.
