Flying Ants - How to get rid of them please

[RubySlippers]

We have flying ants and lots of them
what is the best product to get rid of them

leave them alone, they only last a couple of days and then fly off.

my mum used to call it ant moving day. we got excited

oh good
they were swarming everywhere

apparently, boiling water on the nest site works. But it also strikes me as totoally barbaric. I'd leave well alone

yes it kills them outright and you're left with lots of dead soggy ants with wings to get rid of

I had that problem, they can take up to 3 days to move, and if they move into your house can take weeks to get rid of them, so what did I do? I hoovered them every few hours...now they're all gone [evil grinning emoticon]

that's so nasty shame on you spacepupp

They keep coming into my kitchen. I am afraid i have been spraying them, had to there are hundreds of the buggers. But they are just moving along the edge of the room, no sooner do i get rid of one load of them than a few days later i get another swarm. They are driving me mad.

Hey, I'm a vegetarian and don't generally believe in killing living things. But I make an exception for flying ants. Horrible things.

When we lived in London, the streets around our home were infested with the bloody things. There is no way I would risk them moving into my home!

Flying ant seige of Battersea lasted six years, btw - every year the buggers would be back.

Nippon liquid ina refillable trap is good for ants in general - not sure about fliers.

I use the washing up water on them it instantly stops them flying not sure if it kills them.
Inside i find their entrance and block it with ant powder.

think they may have gone of their own accord

thanks for all the tips though

eek - they have all come to me!!

oh no!
mine seemed to stay for one night only
hope yours do to ...
