Where Are The Flying Ants?
WouterDuring the summer months, millions of flying ants swarm around the UK. They are usually seen at dusk. The ants are looking for a new home. They are mainly interested in mating, but will also feed on other insects and food debris.
The female ants will find a place to make their nest. They will then break off their wings and lay their eggs in the chamber. The females will stay in the nest for a few weeks before flying off to find a new nesting location. The new queens will then leave to start a new colony.
If you want to get rid of flying ants, the easiest way to do it is to boil water and pour it into the hole where they emerge. Then, you will kill the ants. Alternatively, you can buy commercial glue traps or make your own. You can also sprinkle some sugar on the sticky part of the glue trap.
If you don’t want to kill the ants, you can just spray them with ant spray. This is a safe way to get rid of flying ants, and it won’t hurt your kids or pets. You can also buy boric acid powder at your local hardware store and mix it with water.
If you want to avoid getting ants in the first place, you should avoid opening your windows or doors. You also need to keep your kitchen and dining areas clean. You also need to make sure that there is no source of moisture in your home, such as a puddle or a pond.
