๐Ÿ˜ฌExperts have suggested we can soon expect a surge in flying ants, driven by the perfect mix of sporadic wet and mild conditions throughout the UK.

Referred to as Flying Ant Day, the annual mating flight where countless winged ants take to the skies in coordinated swarms, could be amongst the largest in recent memory. But while it's known as Flying Ant Day, it typically extends over multiple days, and has even been recorded to continue for several weeks in some years.

According to specialists at Best Ants UK, this year's will likely "come earlier and be more intense than before". Experts at the Natural History Museum explain that flying ants are referred to as alates.

In the UK, especially in built-up areas, the winged creatures you observe are nearly always the sexually mature queens and males of the black garden ant, Lasius niger. The bigger ants are the queens, and these can measure up to 15 millimetres in length.

Ants tend to take flight sooner in built-up areas than countryside regions, likely because temperatures are typically warmer in urban settings, recognised as the urban heat island effect. Swarms often first appear in southern regions such as Cornwall and Kent, Best Ants UK added, before spreading north across the UK.

๐Ÿ Happy World Bee Day ๐Ÿ

Today weโ€™re celebrating the incredible role bees play in our environment and ecosystem. Bees are essential pollinators and are responsible for helping many of the foods and plants we rely on every day to grow.

At South West Pest Control, we always encourage safe and responsible bee management. Bees should be protected wherever possible, and professional advice is important when dealing with swarms or nests near homes or businesses.

If you spot a swarm, avoid disturbing it and contact a professional for guidance.

Letโ€™s all do our part to protect these amazing pollinators ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒผ

๐Ÿ Bee Season is Here! ๐ŸŒผ

As the warmer weather arrives, weโ€™re starting to see more bees out and about doing what they do best pollinating and supporting our environment. ๐Ÿ’›

At South West Pest Control, we understand just how important bees are. Thatโ€™s why we always take a care-first approach, focusing on the safe re-homing of bees wherever possible rather than removal.

If youโ€™ve spotted a swarm or have concerns about bees on your property, donโ€™t worry weโ€™re here to help in a way thatโ€™s safe for both you and the bees.

๐Ÿ“ž Get in touch with us today for friendly advice or assistance.

Letโ€™s protect your space while also protecting our precious pollinators ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ
