As the weather becomes warmer more and more insects come out of the woodwork, ranging from flying ants to gnats to blood-sucking flies.

They can be a nuisance for many and this year will see a variety of different species swarm the country, so make sure to get your bug spray at the ready.

Here are the insects which could potentially swarm England in the coming months.

Gnats thrive in warmer conditions and are a staple of an English summer garden.

The UK is set for the biggest invasion of flying ants this summer, with this particular insect set to rise by 150% in just two months.

It is believed that as many as 50 billion flying ants will be buzzing across the country and this unusual influx could be related to the recent warm weather, which is unusual for this time of year.

A spokesperson for Rentokil pest controllers said: "Experts believe the rise could be attributed to the unseasonably warm start to the Spring - after Brits experienced record-breaking warm weather in April”.

It is also believed that this unusual warm weather means that National Flying Ant Day, an annual day which marks male and female ants sprouting wings and embarking on a "nuptial flight" seeking ants from other colonies to mate with, will be earlier this year.

Every year, huge flying ants appear on the same day in different locations in the UK, typically occurring in July, but this year’s unseasonably warm weather means they could arrive this month.

Although the ants are harmless, and are unlikely to bite anyone, they may hang around for a number of weeks.

The Blandford Fly

Swarms of blood-sucking flies which can leave people with huge blisters and a fever from one single bite, are set to cause havoc this summer.

The Blandford fly thrives in warm weather and NHS England have warned people to be on alert for this blood-sucking Blandford insect.

The fly bites can potentially leave victims seriously ill, with extreme reactions resulting in swelling, a fever and blistering.

You should seek medical advice if you have swelling or red lines in the groin or armpit area, a fever, or spreading redness or hotness around the bite, this lasting longer than three days.

If you get bitten, you should clean the bite area and dry gently, but avoid scratching the bite as this could lead to infection.

Gnats thrive in warmer conditions and are a staple of an English summer garden. They are attracted to numerous things, including poor quality soil around house plants, damp areas in the home, such as sinks and damp clothes, open piles of rubbish, dirty dishes, fruit and alcohol.

You can prevent gnats from swarming around you by cleaning up your dishes, ensuring any bins are covered, avoid leaving pools of water or full watering cans as gnats are attracted to damp areas, and changing your soil to a higher quality type.
