Ant Season UK: When Ants Peak, Flying Ant Day and How to Treat Them

Ants become active across the UK from spring and build through summer, with the famous flying ant day usually in July. A persistent nest indoors or in the garden is worth treating properly. JG Pest Control controls ants in homes and businesses, and you can book on WhatsApp any time.

When ants are a problem

Ants wake as the soil warms in spring and are busiest through summer, peaking around flying ant day in July when they take to the wing to mate.

Common questions

When is flying ant day?
Usually in July, on a warm, humid, still day when winged ants leave the nest to mate. Numbers can be huge for a day or two, then settle.

Treating the nest, not just the trail, is the key. We find the source and treat it, then advise on proofing. Message us on WhatsApp to book.

Wasp nest removal - good job done!

Thomas sent a message to say what his eta would be, the wasp nest was on the first floor & he said he could use a pole to reach it, so no long ladders going through the house as that would have been difficult. He explained what he was going to do, afterwards gave us instructions as to not go outside for a while as the wasps would be angry & could sting. He told me a bit about wasps which was interesting. Very pleasant & knowledgeable man & did a good job; so pleased! Thankyou!
