Ant activity indoors or outdoors is typical of the summer months. Professional Macclesfield ant infestation removal helps resolve nuisance ant activity in the house, garden or allotment.
Lifecycle of ants
The nuptial flight of flying ants usually occurs from early to mid-July. Drones and queens mate in the sky and then the fertilised queens find a suitable site to start a colony. During this time flying ant infestation of gardens and allotments is a common occurrence. Flying ant infestation will lead to the establishment of ant nests. Ant nests in the garden can lead to an ant infestation in house environments, necessitating professional Macclesfield ant infestation removal treatment.
British ant species
There are over 40 British ant species, some of which are common pests of the house and garden. The two main species involved in ant infestation are the Black garden ant (Lasius niger) and the Common red ant (Myrmica rubra). These species tend to make their nests outside but have little trouble getting inside a building looking for food. Once one ant gets inside it leaves a scent trail for others to follow.
Ant Nests
Ant nests consist of one or more queens, eggs, larva and workers who forage, tend to the young and defend the colony from enemies. Preferred locations for ants to build nests are the underside of stones and compost bins. Ants will burrow into the ground to make a network of chambers and tunnels. Human kitchens and pantries may attract worker ants due to the stockpiling of food, causing ant infestation in house environments.
