Common Ant Species Found in the UK  

Several ant species are frequently encountered in UK properties, such as:

• Black garden ants (Lasius niger) – the most common species found in homes  

• Pharaoh ants – often found in heated buildings  

• Ghost ants – occasionally located indoors  

• Flying ants – reproductive ants visible during swarming season  

Black garden ants are typically responsible for most household infestations, nesting underneath paving, patios, or within wall cavities.

Signs You May Have an Ant Infestation  

Common signs of ant activity include:

• Trails of ants traveling between food sources  

• Ant nests in soil, paving, or walls

If ant colonies are not treated, they can rapidly spread throughout your property.
