Ants might not be as much of a health risk as other insect pests, such as wasps, bed bugs, fleas or cockroaches, but they can still be irritating if they make their way into your property.
In large numbers, ants can be a nuisance and potentially taint food. While a few ants might not seem like a problem, they’ll multiply fast. Also, they leave behind ant trails to encourage other ants to come to places where there’s a reliable food source.
A small number of ants can quickly become a major ant problem, so it pays to be proactive. In the UK, there are several types of ants you’ll find, but the most common are black garden ants, pharaoh ants and red ants.
In the summer, some of the male and female ants will gain wings and fly away from their ant nest to breed; these are known as flying ants. Flying ants can be particularly bothersome, as can ant infestations of any species, which is why when you see ants in your home, you need to call in the pest control experts.

Signs Of An Ant Infestation
The most common sign of an ant infestation is seeing ants themselves. Ants usually move in lines or groups, so while they are small individually, they are usually easy to see.
Other signs of ants include rustling noises and discarded wings, which can be a sign of flying ants. In some cases, usually on farms and in gardens, you might see an ant nest or ant hill, which looks like a pile of dirt.
Once you find ants inside your property, you’ll need to be proactive. While there are plenty of DIY ant killer products on the market, many of these aren’t effective, as they’re not strong enough to deal with large ant infestations.
Also, these products can be toxic to children, family members, pets and wildlife, so they’re not ideal for home use.
As RSHP Level-2 certified pest controllers, our team are able to access ant removal products that aren’t available to the general public. Using our skills and experience in ant control, we can quickly remove the ants from your property without compromising your safety.

Commercial Ant Control Milton Keynes
Ants don’t just invade homes; they can also be a nuisance for businesses and farms as well. An ant infestation can make your commercial property look untidy.
More importantly, it can also be a potential health hazard that could see your premises shut down by your regulating body, particularly if your company operates in the healthcare or food services industries.
For farms, ants can disturb plant roots, resulting in poor crop yields and putting unsightly bite marks on leaves.
Also, ants can contribute to an increase in aphids, as they often protect these pests from predators to enjoy the sweet substances, like nectar, that they produce.
As such, businesses across Milton Keynes need to be proactive about getting rid of ants. BH Pest Control offers commercial support to deter ants and remove existing infestations from commercial properties.
Wherever you’re based, BH Pest Control can help you deal with your pest infestation and remove ants from your property promptly. We also offer annual contracts for commercial customers to block potential ant entry points and deter ants from entering your business premises.
