Ants live in soil or in association with dwellings. Ant nests are formed under paving stones, in gardens and sometimes in buildings. There is one queen per nest and young queens start new nests each year then leave the nest as flying ants. Ants may emerge in large numbers close to or inside houses as they forage for food such as seeds, sweet substances or even aphid secretions. Nests may survive for many years.
Foraging ants are not normally a health hazard and they guard aphids that damage garden plants.

Ant control
Ant control is necessary when they become a serious nuisance in buildings and entry points should be proofed with sealants. Residual sprays, dusts and aerosols may be used to kill or deter the entry of ants.
