Flying Ant Problems in Stretford, Urmston and Flixton.
Flying ants are the dread of many homes in summer leaving many people to hate the summer and the annual flying ants invasion which they know the summer will herald
Only the unfortunates who have suffered it will know the true effects of flying ants in their homes.
Having an infestation of basic wingless ants is bad enough but when they enter their annual mating phase the position can become dreadful.
Ants often form colonies under the floors and in the wall cavities of our houses and these colonies will live for many years to come if left untreated becoming progressively more persistent every year.
Our homes are warm and dry and make the ideal places for a thriving ant colony; even solid concrete floor is not a deterent to and ant colony.
Our house heating systems keeps their metabolism even in the depths of winter and my earliest ant treatment was on my birthday, in January!
Ants need a sandy soil and there are lots of areas in Lancashire, Cheshire and Manchester which produce more ant infestations than other areas, Southport, Blackpool, Bolton, Sale & Altrincham come to mind as regular ant spots.
Unfortunately it is when they are in their mating phase that they are most troublesome. Here in Lancashire, Cheshire and Manchester this often is pretty often around the third or fourth week in July.
Ants mate on the wing and around mid-summer the colony produces flying immature Queens and flying males which in nature would fly off and mate on the wing. Many thousands of these flying ants are produced by each and nests tend to time their production so that they mate with ants from other nests.
Usually this process starts after a couple of days of hot, dry weather and will often last for about seven to ten although smaller releases will carry on throughout most of the summertime.
Unfortunately when the nest is located under the floor of the house the results can be dreadful, literally thousands of winged ants are produced into the lower rooms, aiming for windows as they go towards the light.
This can be extremely distressing for some people leading to extreme emotional upset to the degree that people learn to fear the summertime and have actually left their homes to avoid the plague of ants which they know will come each summer.
The wet summers of 2007, 2008 & 2009 has meant that ant jobs were reduced on previous years but ants appear to have a way of catching up and 2010 looks set to be a particularly good year for them.
Many people who have this problem try for DIY solutions with powders from DIY shops etc but mostly these efforts do not work as they are not getting to the heart of the matter which is the nest itself, hidden away safely in the cavity wall or under the floor.
Luckily for a lot of people the solution is at hand.
At Harrier Pest Prevention (subject to site survey) we are able to cure this problem and give an extendable three year guarantee.
The process which is done mostly from the outside of the house, is totally safe for animals and children and produces no smell, involves drilling little holes into the cavity walls of the house, not unlike a damp-proof course injection and blowing a long lasting insecticide into the cavity wall under pressure.
This forms an impenetrable barrier across which the ants cannot cross and along with a precautionary internal spray treatment (if deemed necessary) will slowly bring the ant colony under control.
The holes, which are only 8mm in diameter stay open so it is simply a matter of topping up the wall cavities every 3 to extend the effectiveness of the guarantee in 3 year periods.
This procedure is best done out in the early spring however it can be done at any time of year.
As a strictly limited time offer before our busy period begins we are offering 25 percent off the usual cost until May 30 2010. Whilst we usually cover the whole of Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester, we are willing to travel further afield but this will be at extra cost.
