Here are a few DIY pest tips for Ant Problems:

• Pouring a kettle of boiling water over the nest site is only a short term measure!
• Look for ant trails or nests and treat with an approved pesticide from a garden supplier
• Always Follow the label instructions and use recommended protective equipment
• The most common ant is the Black Garden Ant, which is actually very dark brown!
• The ant is a highly organised social insect, the foraging worker ants that invade buildings are in search of food.
• Especially sweet foodstuffs which they take back to the nest to feed to the queen and larvae.

Wipe down surfaces of food and block all entry points, where possible
