Common Black Ant - Lasius Niger | Pharaohs Ant - Monomorium Pharaonis
They are the two most likely species of ant to be encountered, they are very different in biology and behavior. Black ants a native of the UK readily enters buildings looking for food. They live in colonies with one fertile queen, sterile females and males. In the Summer when conditions are right winged males and females leave the nest and mate on the wing. This happens over a short period of time and may include several colonies at once, males quickly die and surviving females will start new colonies. Black ants do not generally carry any disease or bacteria, gut they do cause a nuisance and spoil food products. They can be controlled with baits or insecticides.
Pharaohs ants are a tropical ant and unlike the black ant take advantage of heated property, notably flats and hospitals. Unlike the black ant they can be very large, Ants find there way into kitchens and can often be seen in single file trails many meters long, moving to and from food sources. They ruin food and products and in hospitals there is a serious risk of these ants transmitting bacteria and infectious organisms after crawling on infected surfaces and dressings. These ants are notoriously difficult to control. Workers have the ability to create new satellite colonies if the original one is subject to unusual conditions.
