subject: Flying Ants - How Their Presence Can Affect You [print this page] This is why it is important to control swarms of flying ants: they will tell the colony of their new home spot, and then you will have a whole outbreak of regular ants as well. With a few applications of pesticide or even homemade treatments, you can usually get rid of a problem with flying ants without too much trouble. The main thing to remember is that it might take multiple treatments to completely eradicate them. These critters tend to be quite resilient, even for insects, and they don't always go away after the first treatment. If this is the case, don't give up; continue applying treatments until they are no longer infesting your home and interfering with your life. Hopefully you will never have to deal with an ant problem ever again, but if you do, you will know what steps to take to get rid of them.
