Ants Fact File

• The most common species of ant found in the UK is the Black Garden Ant, which tends to nest outside, although often invades people's homes.
• Black garden ants are quite easy to identify: they are dark brown-black in colour, 3-5 mm in length and often follow each other along what is known as a 'pheromone trail'. Pheromone is a scent laid by the worker ants in order to direct others towards a food source.
• Ant nests are most likely to be built under paving stones and building foundations or within cavity walls.
• Ants are not known for transmitting diseases, although they may have travelled through insanitary locations before arriving in your home.
• An infestation of black garden ants can cause some people considerable distress, even more so during 'swarming' - a common feature of the mating process that tends to take place in late summer when large numbers of winged males and females, known as 'flying ants', leave the nest and take part in nuptial flight.
