Uuurrgghh! Flying ant day here today! Anywhere else having this problem?

[FourArms]

Have just hung out a load of washing, luckily up wind from the nest that seems to be erupting with flying ants.

So much for my plans to tidy the garden today! Won't be going out again until they're all gone.

Yes. I have them in my kitchen

Hate ants. Hate them hate them hate them. Would gladly eradicate every ant on the planet if I could.

yup, here too today and yesterday it seems. They seem to have managed to get into my bathroom and are all over the place. DD refuses to go in

I've got them in my kitchen too Rubberduck, although not as badly this year as in previous years. I'm afraid I hoover them up with a Dustbuster

They're horrid aren't they. DS2 keeps screaming every time he sees one!

I hoover them up once they're dead, but I'm terrified they'll start up a nest in my hoover if I vacuum them while they're still alive!

Yesterday. They didn't seem interested in coming in the house though. DH had a lovely time outdoors with the fly-swat!

Had them here (Somerset) yesterday. No sign of them today but it has been raining most of the day .

We had loads here (Hull) yesterday, my DH said the air around his work was crawling with them.

They won't, honestly

We had loads (Devon) yesterday - I sent the kids out with water pistols, kept them happy for a good afternoon!

Brilliant idea pippy!

We're Devon too! We must all have had perfect conditions with rain followed by sun. Apparently they like thunderstorms

Waps too- out at Hampton Court enjoying nice scone and cream today- millions of them hovering round. I hate them...remember making wasp traps as a kid (jam jar with a bit of jam at the bottom and a small opening)- wonder why I didn't grow up to be a serial killer.

Wasps even...must be the 2 glasses of wine.

Hate hate hate wasps DS2 got stung twice in one day last year. I felt sooo terrible for him.
