ARRRGGHH ANTS!!!!!

original sin · 09 Jul 2003, 22:54

Is anyone else being plaugued by ants????

Our whole street is teeming. Some of the blighters are ruddy big like you usually get on thecontinent in much hotter countries and there's loads of flying ants too.

CarolM · 09 Jul 2003, 22:58

yes seen a few today when we were on our tea break,

they were quite big and horrible flying everywhere.

Tim · 09 Jul 2003, 22:58

hahaha, that is normal Sin.... some day the antz will fly out... well some does... and they crash down on the pavement again, or will be eaten by birds...

original sin · 09 Jul 2003, 23:03

Mrs Mouse, thanks at least it's not just me

I think we need a good storm, blow away this horrible sultry atmosphere, might get rid of 'em too

Tim this is far from normal!!!! even for me

i've lived here 14 years and I've never know it like this........ I'm gonna have to get some powder/spray tomorrow. Meanwhile 'm boiling up kettles of water and pouring it over the little blighters

Tim · 09 Jul 2003, 23:07

Well, i know it is here every summer.... one day a year, the antz are flying out. Crawling to high points and fly away... then the birds will eat them, or they crash to death...

CarolM · 09 Jul 2003, 23:11

Hi Sin, still paranoid thinking they are on me somewhere.

nice to see you back Tim.

R. · 09 Jul 2003, 23:25

CarolM · 09 Jul 2003, 23:28

Tim · 10 Jul 2003, 20:23

For little bugs / flies you can use the 2 in 1 cleaner... spray it on the flies / bugs and they will drop out of the air, and you can crush them easily!

bambi · 10 Jul 2003, 20:59

Testify · 10 Jul 2003, 22:04

Simple cure for ants.

Get an icing bag, fill it with jam, lay a trail of jam from where the ants congregate across your garden and into the next door neighbours garden (this is probably best doen at night to avoid the funny looks), Then simply sit back and relax!!!!!
