As the majority of ant species prefer sunny climates, our environment is perfect for ants to thrive in.
Although black or garden ants aren’t thought to carry diseases, they can be a particular nuisance when they get into your home. Considering that ants frequently travel through unsanitary areas before they end up on your countertops, you won’t want them marching through your food cupboards.

Dealing with Ant Infestations
Tips for dealing with ant infestations:
- Track down ants’ access points and seal off the entry point
- Clear up any sticky residues on work tops, as ants are attracted to sweet things
- Cover up any foodstuffs which could be a food source for ants
Ant Infestation Signs
Live ants
If you’re seeing large numbers of live ants in your home or workplace then you may well have an ant problem. If you find them in your kitchen or in areas where you prepare food, then you need to do something about it fast.
Ant pathways
In and out of your home or premises are another sign. Some types of ant will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This chemical attracts other ants to find the food.
Ant nest
A nest site can look like a small pile of soil or dirt. Some species of ant like to make their home in walls or other quiet, dark places, which are more difficult to spot.
