Black Ant (Lasius Niger)

An active insect, the Black Ant is found throughout Britain and will nest in gardens and around buildings often entering premises in search of food.

Significance

Foraging worker ants cause a nuisance as they travel widely in search of food, following well-defined trails and clustering around the food source.

Primarily a nuisance pest, the Black Ant does not pose a significant threat to public health, although they are obviously an unpleasant sight and may damage food used for human consumption.

It should be noted that their behaviour does not lead to the same degree of problems caused by dirtier insects such as cockroaches and flies.

Look Out For:

• visual sitings of adults;
• earth excavation around wall edges and paving slabs.
