'Flying ant day' is a phenomenon that occurs around the country at different times depending on weather conditions
Today appears to be 'flying ant day', although this isn't strictly accurate. This phenomenon, which takes place across the country at different times depending on weather conditions, sees millions of flying ants take to the skies in search of mates over the coming weeks.
Offering some insight into this unusual occurrence is Paul Blackhurst, head of Rentokil's technical academy. He has all the information on what 'flying ant day' is, when it might happen, and how you can keep your home insect-free, reports the Express.
"While it can be a temporary nuisance, it is thought that this mass flight helps the ants to overwhelm predators such as swifts and gulls, thereby increasing their chances of survival. Following a wet start to summer this year, followed by the warm weather we've been experiencing, the conditions are ripe for bumper swarms."
