Professional Ant Control In Salford

Ant Species

An ant infestation in the UK is likely to be one of the following common species.

• Garden Ant: These are typically dark brown to black in colour, with the worker ants being around 4-5mm in size. They will typically be attracted to sweet foods although can also take other foodstuffs they find.
• Pharaoh’s Ant: The workers of this species are around 1-2mm in length and have a yellow-brown appearance. They prefer high protein food and can be attracted to meat and fatty foods.
• Pavement Ant: This species will consume almost any food found in a typical home. They have a dark brown colour and the workers are usually around 2-3mm long.

Problems Caused

The nuisance factor is the biggest problem when it comes to an ant infestation. If they find the food they like they can swarm around it in huge numbers so that it basically becomes inedible. They will create trails across floors, walls, and ceilings to follow for foraging and once in place will keep using them to search for food unless Salford ant infestation removal treatment is used to stop them. The new queens that emerge during the time of mating have wings and this can create a flying ant infestation that causes problems if a nest is inside a property.
