f'ing flying ants!

How odd. Just came back inside from dispersing the ant powder at the step at my back door to come across this thread. Synchronicity or what? Hundreds of the flying types, males and a few queens, the workers had spent days clearing out an exit for them. In human terms they must have moved the equivalent of thousands of tons. They were finding their way into the kitchen hence the need for the chemical warfare - though I do say, I do hate using that stuff on them.

I returned home to find that my wife had treated them to a hot water tsunami and sauna.

Our garden was full of the little b*stards today. All the kids in the street were crying and the girls had them in there hair. I cant understand why it nearly always the same day every year and by the looks here it the same over the whole country.

Seems we've had another invasion via the chimney, we've lit the fire and just left it smouldering (hoping the smoke will gas them (?)), they're bloody annoying little things I was hitting dozens of them on my cycle today, could hear them all pinging off my helmet.
