Staines-Upon-Thames Flying Ant Control

Flying ants are a side effect of ants nests. Flying ants are not 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 start a new colony. Generally, flying ants outside are a nuisance but shouldn’t present a severe risk. They are able to bite or sting if threatened, but hardly ever do so in large numbers.

Typically flying ants in the garden should simply be left to swarm. They should only do so for a day or two each year. The best treatment for getting rid of flying ants is to eradicate the nests prior to the time when the flying ants swarm. Expert pest control companies can survey the area whether it is in the home or outside and identify the ant nest. They’ll then be able to eradicate the nests using an insecticide powder or spray.

How to get rid of flying ants

Significant numbers of flying ants inside your home should be handled as soon as possible. They are likely an indicator of ant nests inside the property, which should be ruined quickly. In the same way, if many flying ants are present in the garden and causing damage or injury, a specialist pest control company should be engaged. The company will be able to utilise a knock down insecticide to eliminate the flying ants. This should only be achieved along with finding and wiping out the nests in order to be a highly effective and long term solution to a flying ant infestation.
