ant bait

I use similar products in various forms. I try to get them outside before they come inside. they are amazing creatures, so long as they stay a safe distance from the house. I also like the gel in a syringe type applicator. it's quite effective

Another grey & misty start to the day in South East Suffolk and this coincided with the heating in the office failing. And the drains have backed up as well so the corridor by the Gents' isn't the most fragrant place at the moment.

At least the heating kicked back in about an hour ago and the mist has faded away so it looking like a nice afternoon.

Sometimes there isn't much evidence of where the nest is. They only need a crack in the pavement in order to dig down and make a nest. On packed earth look for a small hole. If they are inside your brickwork the gel will sort them out though.

Oh I think they safe if they are in walls. They have 110cm of flint and tuffeau packed rubble and lime mortar to make their metropolis.
They have taken to the gel corral I made them this morning and are not diverting around it as they did when they first discovered it.
I'm hoping they are taking plenty back for everyone else.

Why do people think that I believe bull sh@t when there answer is pure bull

I have a friend who is an inveterate liar and a sociopath. I have to remind him regularly that I know him for what he is.
If he did not have an extremely good sense of humour he would no longer be a friend.

I've found some more ants! A different part of the garden, under some paving. Nippon to the rescue!

Outdoors away from buildings I prefer the all cleansing flame, acetone usually.

Somewhere in those trees is a cuckoo. There is a reason that you very rarely see them.

Warm, still and overcast here chez Casa Reynard. Although the sun is trying his best to peek from behind the clouds.

Good news! Things have started moving again, albeit slowly. I am a lot more comfortable. I think you can all stand down on the syrup of figs and the prune juice.

Spent the morning making a big pot of Jewish Penicillin aka chicken noodle soup. I shall dose myself with a big bowl of that later this evening. And I think I shall attempt a gentle bicycular bimble in a little while, as I need to go and pick up mum's prescription from the dispensary at the Quack.

Finely tuned?

That's the term Mrs MY uses.

Nah, normally I can eat anything and it doesn't bother me too much - I've got a pretty cast-iron gut.

109 is still in the lead.

I have made the end plates a bit too thick, so I will have to sand them down a touch. But this is one of the places where I've had to compromise a little and deviate from actuality, since at scale, the parts would have been too fragile.

Wish I had soup. Why haven't I got any soup?

My neighbour prefers the 'kettle full of boiling water' method.

I'll stick with the gel and powder - they seem to like it!

The main area where I put down gel and powder is completely clear now.

They seem mightily keen on that

Ah, the world is a much better place after a gentle bicycular bimble.

I now have a and a couple of suggestive biskits.
