There are thousands of different species of ants. The most common types of ants found in the United Kingdom are black ants also know as garden ants. Other ants causing problems are Pharaoh Ants and Red Fire Ants.

As the weather starts to get warmer ants will start to look around for food sources. Homes, offices restaurants and many other buildings can become targets for these small but annoying pests. The workers ants are required to forage for food which is needed for the rapidly growing number of young ants back at the nest.
