Problems caused by Ants

Ants are common everywhere and you are as likely to find them in London as Hertfordshire. Ants become pests once they come into homes searching for food.  They are most commonly attracted to sweet, high sugar foods. When garden ants are foraging for food they can  become a real nuisance, often walking over unpleasant and dirty surfaces while they are searching for food sources. Most people are not willing to accept this in their homes and want to get rid of this pest.
 

Identify an Ant problem

Ants are easily recognisable although most people are not aware that it is only the worker ants they usually see. Male and female ants are produced at particular times of the year. Winged ants, often called flying ants, are commonly seen during the summer. Worker ants are usually 2 to 5mm long and are a black or brown colour. Female and male ants are generally larger in body size than the worker ants with the females around 6.5 to 10mm and the male ants 3.5 to 4.5 mm. You can usually find the nests for garden ants outdoors in sandy soils, often under loose paving slabs.
