This is not the ant you find in your garden, which is the Black Ant. The Pharaoh's Ant requires artificial heat to survive and reproduce. We are now finding these in domestic properties, but in the past you would mainly have found them in hospitals, bakeries, laundries and institutions such as prisons.
The control of the Pharaoh’s Ant is best left to the professionals, as the treatment can take many weeks to complete.
