Ants |  |
Price from: £ 45
A worker ant is 3-4mm long, brown and black, with antennae and biting mouthparts (Queens are 15mm long).
There is no point in killing the odd ant, as you need to source the nest. Black ants are normally under stones, slabs and near to houses, and find their way into homes to feed on foods.
One ant sources the food and returns to the nest, and within an hour scores can follow. Once the nest is traced it can be treated with an insect powder labelled for that use, and applying a residual insecticide spray outside the building, paying special attention to entry points i.e., doorframes, airbricks and waste pipes. |
