Flying ants!


Once again the flying ants are out in force everywhere here, hundreds of them.... they get in your hair, fly into your face, get stuck in the washing on the line ........I hate them!

I know they usually come out for one day only in July but our weather has been so bad here that I never gave them a thought this year..

It's giving Cassie some excercise trying to catch them though!

Anybody else had them in their area today?

Re: Flying ants!


Oh god yes we have them, the ******s are every where, they only come out when the pressure is low and at the moment it is very low due to the weather we are going to have tomorrow, it will be a case of batten down the hatches.

Re: Flying ants!


My boys are having fun hunting them today too. I love it when they mooch around the garden with their noses low to the ground stalking the little varmints!
