Help- what are these bloody flies all over my garden and washing ?

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

And how the hell do I stop them

The look like flying ants

Looks like it's flying ants... Queen ants so don't let them inside or they'll nest inside!!!

?😱

Flying ant day! I was literally wearing a cape of them earlier! Watch the seagulls because they come out in force, eat the ants and get 'drunk'!

We are besieged with them too

Ewww I feel itchy- I wouldn’t care so much except they are all over the washing
How do I stop them coming in- normally I salt my drive against regular ants
