seems like an invasion in my house of flying ants, anyone else...

We came back from honeymoon to a massive infestation. It's on going and driving me potty.

Pesky things!

Not had a problem for about 5 years but they just seemed to be everywhere in my house during one Summer.

[fender62]

i was told nests are in building foundations etc sometimes, so i went around the edges of my house..and found a little army coming out of the concrete, bucket of hot bleachy water, when i dries, ill fill in cracks
with cement.

why murder these innocent animals they don't do ant harm not here in the uk anyhow

[Mamyalynne]

Fair point Johnny, however would you really sit in your room with hundreds of these flying round you?

[gness]

You’ll change your mind when one goes up your skirt and gets stuck in your knicker elastic, Johnny!

[Hopkirk]

How did you know Johnny wears a skirt, Gness?

[gness]

Well he must, Hoppy....how else does he cover his knickers? X
