Ants That Fly
Some people believe flying ants to be an isolated species of ants. However, the truth of the matter is that they in fact are not. Rather, the wings are a discernible characteristic for the male and queen ant that are the only ants capable of reproducing. So if you see a flying ant, it is actually an ant that is looking for another ant to mate with.
These types of ants swarm to mate. Once they have done so the males die and the queen releases her wings in an attempt to find a location for nesting. Thus, the first sight of a flying ant in your home could possibly be a clear sign of a possible and likely infestation. Once this sighting has transpired, it is important to act quickly in calling a professional to come and inspect your home and having any found ants removed from your home and any points of entry and food sources sealed up and closed off.
What Are They Attracted To?
Flying ants can take up residence in or around your home and thorough inspection both inside and out is key to finding out where they are. These ants mostly enjoy damp spaces. Thus you can be certain that they will be around areas with plumbing and leaking water, especially if there is wood close-by. Places such as bathrooms, window sills, beams under the roof and other areas susceptible to moist conditions are mostly where you can find them. Looking for nesting sites can be tedious.
Removing Them Can Be Complicated
Attempting to completely eradicate the colony of ants on your own may be difficult. To do so, the location of the site must successfully be located as this is the cause of the problem. Attempting to remove them one by one by spraying them when you see them is not a viable solution. Also, doing so will only take longer and will allocate time for the colony to increase.
