About Black Ant Control in Walkden

Walkden is a Lancashire town within Greater Manchester with a population of 40,000. Located aproximatley 7 miles north west of Manchester, one of England's largest cities. The size of the town coupled with its significant population and industrialised areas make Walkden a town prone to Pest Control related issues.

Black Ants (Lasius niger), also known as Garden Ants, are the most common Walkden species in Stockport and the UK. Preferring temperate conditions they build their nests in the soil or in association with buildings. 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 Walkden 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.

The mating swarms of Flying Ants can also be a short-term nuisance. Males and presumptive queens are produced at certain times of the year and these are winged individuals, the so-called Flying Ants, which are common on warm humid days in the summer.
