   • Flying ants are just normal ants – with wings! The ants we’re most used to seeing are female black garden ants, marching around collecting food. But during summer, winged males and new queens of the same species take flight!
   • They fly to set up new ant colonies. The ants take to the skies so that queens can mate with males from different colonies, and set up new nests of their own.
   • Flying ants only swarm during hot summer weather. For a swarm of ants to occur, conditions must be just right – they’re usually triggered by hot and humid weather in July or August.
   • Flying ant day’ is a myth. Because so many ants appear in the same place at the same time, the phenomenon is often known as ‘flying ant day’ – but it’s really more of a short flying ant season.

   • Block up points of entry. Unlike carpenter ants, flying ants typically remain outside where they can burrow into the soil and mate in the air. When they do end up in your home, however, it is likely they have entered by accident.
   • Use a vacuum to remove them immediately. If flying ants have swarmed in your home or settled on your surfaces using a vacuum is the most effective way of removing large swathes at a time.
   • Use pesticides or bug sprays. Although not as quick a fix as the vacuum, spraying natural pesticides or your own homemade bug sprays can help to eliminate flying ants as well as crawling ants.
   • Remove the colony. The most effective way to get rid of flying ants for good is to attack the source. As with any pest infestation, it will be difficult to remove the bugs for good without eliminating their home and breeding ground.
