Flying Ant Day

[Mummydaydreams]

So many flying ants here (South East) we've got the patio doors shut. Does it happen on the same day all over the UK or is this a localised thing?

Nothing here yet (Bedfordshire).

I reckon it will be about another week here.

We had them here yesterday (South West). Not a one to be seen today 🤷‍♀️

Oh dear I hope not: just about to go out on a dog walk up the hill here. Last year I got caught up in flying ant day, was horrendous.

I used to live in a house with a very antsy garden. I remember a visible wall of flying ants once and had to run out and grab DCs. Was like a biblical plague.

We are SE and yes it’s definitely flying ant day , fortunately we have fly screens .

Seems to be Thunderfly day in Norfolk!

I've just put my recycling out and I have a load bursting out my steps....aaaah

I'm South East and have loads today too

Happening today in London!

Saw a whole cloud of them wafting along the pavement when I was coming back from the supermarket. I hate the dopey buggers so i was pleased I was in the car. This is the 2nd time in the last few weeks we've had them here, North London

Yep I’m in Hampshire and my garden has exploded with them. One just landed in my bloody hair!

We're in the South East and had ours two weeks ago...

Same here. Just closed all the doors which is a shame as it's a lovely day.

North West and they’ve arrived.

Hampshire here too, we've had masses of them in the last couple of weeks. They have dug out masses of sand from around our block paving.

Yes! Just been saying this. SW London

It might be later on here. It's warm, still and a bit muggy.

They're appearing in london.

I love flying ant day, they are fascinating creatures.

Think it's localised.
To a pp, thunder flies come out when they're harvesting crops as they normally live in them

Nothing near Peterborough!

Kent, yes they’ve been out today.

Kent and I’ve just picked one out of my bikini bottoms

Noticed one today * TBF the cats noticed it frst ) , and mentioned to DS . Nothing since

We had loads in May though , in the kitchen up at the corners of the French Doors and the window .
It was like that scene in The Amityville Horror Don't know where they came from but they were inside the house

We had flying any day in early June (Cornwall). Can always tell because the seagulls go totally nuts.
