Nests are commonly found in gardens, under paving slabs, in foundations and sometimes within buildings.

Black Ants are a common insect pests on homes and commercial premises in Buxton and are the only indigenous UK species that regularly enter houses. Black Ants are social insects, living in colonies. The foraging worker Ants are very active and will feed on a wide range of foodstuffs but prefer sweet substances. Black Ants do not normally pose a health risk but are a nuisance and can physically contaminate foodstuffs and cause distress.
