Protecting your Environment from Ant Problems

Garden AntsAt Young’s Pest Control we understand that an ant infestation can be an irritatingly disturbing sight, and having them eradicated can sometimes be complicated. This is why we utilize state-of-the-art techniques in pest control and insect eradication. There are intricate aspects of ant behaviour that we take into consideration when embarking on any form of pest control. These are:

• Entry Point: When foraging, ants are good at navigating their way to your pantry, storeroom or kitchen through the tiniest of cracks.
• The use of scent trails: To aid in proper navigation for the rest of the colony, ants are known to leave trails which contain pheromones that are invincible to the human eye.
• Nesting locations: The location of their nests might not necessarily be within the building – as they can set up their nests anywhere within or around your vicinity.

• Colony size: An ant’s colony can number to as much as 10000 ants, and the entire colony can easily relocate when it feels threatened.
An attempt at eradicating an ant infestation on your own would turn out to be frustratingly futile. This is why it is important to have a proper analysis and eradication done by the professionals at Young’s Pest Control.

Types of Ant Problems

There are numerous ant species, but those that are most common in the UK include:

• Garden Ants: Their nests are usually located in the soil, but can also be found beneath barks and in brickwork. The queen can grow to as much as 15mm, and she usually lays her eggs in the spring. When garden ants locate food, they are known to leave pheromone trails from the food source back to their nesting ground.

• The Ghost, Pharaoh and Argentine Ant: This ant specie tends to need a steady form of artificial heat so as to survive and reproduce. They can be located in areas with blocks of flats, hospitals and hotels. Their diet largely consists of decomposing food items, and they tend to carry germs on them – hence, making them harmful to humans.

• Red Fire Ants: These flying ants are reddish brown in appearance and live in large colonies which are built in sunny open areas. They pack a very painful sting, and having these flying ants infest an area could prove to be an annoying sight.
