Invasion....no likee

Verdun · July 2015

Inside and outside conservatory thousands and thousands of flying ants. And venturing inside utility room. Luckily ant spray to hand so looks like I've got situation under comtrol. l Hope ant spray wont be banned too.....environment goodie goodies will say it should be, no doubt, so what then would we use? Ants are swarming....sprayed around places near the bungalow

They all disappear within the hour here Verdun. Birds catch them in mid air, love to watch that so couldn't poison them in case the birds were poisoned as well

I know what you mean Verdun - one summer at work our office was invaded - there was a problem where the floor met the walls and the ants found their way in - when we turned up at work on the Monday after a hot and sunny weekend the windows were black with ants We had to work from home while they were 'dealt with'.

Otherwise I leave them alone - around here it's usually the seagulls who are wheeling in the sky hoovering them up. Think they do it the same way as the whales hoover up plankton - mouth open and move forward

Verdun we get them (SAD FACE), ONE day a year usually end of this month and they are a pain. Last year I left dining room window on breathing hole and needed vacuum nozzle to suck the off the inside of the window.

First year I encountered them I went out with hose on mist and sprayed them but still ended up with a barnet full of them. (Green face smiley !!! ) Not as bad as lily beetles lol x

I try and work on the principle that anything in the garden has a right to live or get dealt with by nature but once it steps in over the doorstep it is a goner!
