Here come the ants watch out and arm yourself with kill methods

By: robert jeffries

The standard garden ant will colonise any surface and especially any soft sandy substrate which they are more likely to bury into to set up property.

This burrowing activity means that nests can time up to 3 meters deep and will reoccur every year if they are not successfully controlled. This is why it is essential that kill is swift and convenient because if not then these pests will pop up year after year and you will spend hundreds of pounds during that spell trying to kill the nest.

A typical black ant nest will contain around 18,000 individuals and each one has an essential role in the success of the nest. Inside the nest, there is only one queen whose sole purpose is to lay eggs. Theses eggs are tended by worker ants that are also responsible for building, repairing and extending the nest. The workers will also travel out and forage for food and bring it back to the nest and feed others.

Lots of citizens think ant eradicate is about controlling the ants that they see walking about but this is incorrect. The ants you see are only a small fraction of the population and by the stretch you curb theses, they have already been replaced by the queens' ability to lay eggs at a phenomenal rate.

I take into account my mother when faced with an ants nest employed to boil up the kettle an pour boiling water on and around the nest entrance guess the hot water would seep into the nest and boil the ants however this does not work. Ants nests are water proof if this was not the case after that the ants would be flooded out every stretch it rained. Their nest is constructed in the type of layers of soil separated by small pillars of soil, in other words it is like a mini shopping mall but without the escalators.

So in short the only sure fire way to control a nest is using insecticide and this is either in spray form, gel or powder, I would always go for the spray for a heavy nest difficulty and firstly locate the entrance and spray one meter either side of the entrance and above it also so n matter which direction the ants tour then they will come into contact with the poison and die. The spray needs to be reapplied after each rain shower. If you cannot see the entrance after that the best course is the gel. This works by the workers feeding off it and taking it back to the nest where they feed the queen and other workers and control off the nest. All poisons can be found as well a wonderful advice sheets at www.pestwarehouse.co.uk
