The British were warned to keep the windows closed this month during the latest sizzling heat wave as the flying ants were set up in such a way as to continue. Dr Nathaniel Green has been examined insect behavior for more than twenty years, and fear conditions are perfectly listed for an intense explosion of the annual phenomenon known as flying ant week.
This year, he predicts that the action will be to the peak between August 13-18 – when hot temperatures, high humidity and still create an ideal launching ramp for flying for millions of winged queen and men. Dr Green explains: “When the air hits this sweet point, it’s like a signal for ants everywhere to get into the air at once.
Why is your windows a magnet:
Flying ants are not dangerous, but when they drift inside, they do not fully meet the guests, and dirty windows may invite them.
Dr Green said: “The dust light on the glass and the glass can reflect insects more closely.
“Add pollen or organic residue and you’ve got a buffet on a basis. Cleaning your windows before the herds are shot will make your home much less attractive to them.”
That’s why he recommends everyone to clean their windows and keep them closed during busy hours in mid -August.
Short -lived, but unpleasant:
Good news? Flying ant herds do not last long. Dr Green explains: “The flying stage only takes a few days. Men die immediately after mating, and the fertilized queens are lands to start new colonies.”
Nevertheless, this may be sufficient to leave your kitchen for a few days or to leave the hall swinging with unwanted visitors.
The recommendation is simple: make a cleaning suitable for your windows, keep them closed during the most intense herds and support for a few days in the mid -August, when England may be under insect invasion.
With some preparation, you can enjoy the summer temperature without sharing with hundreds of winged guests.
