An invasion of “super ants” with a attraction to electricity so strong it may eventually result in their own death is feared to have spread across the south of England, after a large nest was found in London.

Known as fire ants, or Asian super ants, the insects were first spotted in the UK in 2009 at Hidcote Manor – a National Trust property in Gloucestershire – where more than 35,000 were discovered.
