Fide Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Has anyone else's 'hood been invaded by swarms of these winged spawn of Satan? Apparently Flying Ant Day is a thing. Regale us with your tales of insect woe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quitongo's Left Peg Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes! My living room window and hall floor seem to be their go-to spots. Pesky wee things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell™ Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 had them the past few years, but found the nest entrance good and early this year and got the powder down. haven't seen any ants crawling about recently, so hopefully i've got them.

Sweet Pete Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hate them. I once had to walk from a former workplace along Dumbarton Road two miles to hand deliver legal documents to another law firm, then do the same journey in reverse whilst these b*****ds swarmed all over what seemed like the whole length of the road.

tamthebam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I saw a drone repeatedly post on Pie and Bovril.... anyway I noticed there were lots of flying ants about and lots of the wee ordinary ones but there were some bigger ones around as well that you usually don't see- are they soldier ants or the lesser spotted deserter ants?
