Flying Ant Day will be a big one this year and is set to last several weeks, according to experts. The annual event, also known as the nuptial flight, sees numerous winged ants taking to the skies across the UK.
Contrary to its name, this event happens over several weeks rather than a single day, and this year, the wet spring followed by the warm weather we're experiencing sets the stage for bumper swarms across Britain, according to experts at Rentokil.
Paul Blackhurst, Technical Academy Head at Rentokil Pest Control, said: "Flying ant day, also known as the nuptial flight, is a natural phenomenon in which high numbers of ants with wings, called alates, take to the air simultaneously in search of mates from other colonies.
