Flying ants are a side effect of ants nests. Flying ants are not a distinct type 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 will swarm for a day or two and then seek to start a new colony. In general, flying ants outside are a nuisance but should not pose a serious risk. They are able to bite or sting if threatened, but almost never do so in large numbers.
Generally flying ants in the garden should simply be left to swarm. They should only do so for a few days each year. The best treatment for eradicating flying ants is to eradicate the nests ahead of the time when the flying ants swarm. Professional pest control companies can survey the area whether it is in your home or outside and locate the ant nest. They will then be able to get rid of the nests by making use of 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 tend to be an indicator of ant nests inside the property, which should be destroyed quickly. Similarly, if large numbers of flying ants can be found in the garden and causing damage or injury, an expert pest control company should be engaged. The company will be able to make use of a knock down insecticide to kill the flying ants. This should only be achieved along with tracking down and wiping out the nests in order to be an effective and long term solution to a flying ant infestation.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being part of east London, with northern and western locations deemed to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns entire boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this program assigns Hackney to the ‘East’ sub-region, even though the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey to the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets to the south-east as well as the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. Based on population estimates from 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of about 263150 inhabitants. A great deal of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such places as Dalston large housing estates have been joined by newly created gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and around the Church of St John-at-Hackney; referred to as Hackney Central.
Towards the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries inside the area surrounding the River Lea employ more than 3000 individuals. Some of the area was used for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
