Maidenhead Pest Control for total control of ants.   Ants become a problem throughout Maidenhead, Ascot and Windsor throughout the summer. 

Why are we over run with ants? 
Ants love warm dry weather and with warmer winters and hotter summers we have seen a rise in ant infestations over the last few years, coupled with that we now have ants from southern Europe happily living in the south of England and I would expect that if climate change warms the environment then problems with ants, both natural to the UK and those invasive species, will only get worse
I live in a flat and we have these tiny ants, what are they? 
There is a species of ant found across the UK that heralds from north Africa - the Pharaoh ant and this has become a real problem for pest controllers, these ants have the ability for a small group of workers to take some fertilised egg's and bud off from the main colony when they become stressed.  
 
This usually occurs when someone tries to eradicate the ants with over the counter treatments - Pharaoh ants require a specialist poison which is only available for professional use. 

Maidenhead Pest Control for ant control  

Ants can be found throughout the summer months and although in themselves a nuisance they can spread harmful bacteria as they travel through our homes and businesses.  
 
Some ants like the Pharaoh ants can bite and children will be disturbed if they have invaded bedding. 
 
Flying ants will be a problem throughout the year as the different species will all have 'their' times when the colonies all synchronize their release of Queen ants and the males. We cannot treat these ants as they have to desire to feed only mate and begin the process of building a colony.

Ant infestations in Maidenhead - what to look for 

Ants overrunning surfaces and across exposed food 
 
Finding ants inside kitchen cupboards searching for food debris 
 
Ant trails – the distinctive lines of ants all traveling backwards and forwards on an invisible path 
 
Finding stray ants outside of the heavily affected areas; these are scouting for fresh food opportunities 
 
Ant nests outside of your home, these show up in gaps between paving slabs, along the junction of the patio and the house and all over block paved driveways.  
Look for excavated material being ejected by the worker ants as they enlarge their nest
