So was yesterday the day then?
I have no end of ants on the patio, in fact I wonder if the whole house is built on a giant ants’ nest, but yesterday early evening was the limit.
Just one first of all flying around the fireplace but I looked again and the carpet was crawling with the little b*ggers, and they were coming out from under the hearth in their thousands.
I used the dregs of a tin of ant killer on them but I feared it wasn’t enough so at 10 to 7 I set off on a mercy dash to locate ant killer.
Waitrose? Drew a blank.
Boots? Don’t seem to do domestic stuff
TG for Wilko! I bought 4 cans of ant killer plus 4 of fly and wasp for good measure plus some granules for outside.
Once home I had the task of more spraying especially on the hearth and after a bit, hoovering up the remains which I emptied into my green wheelie bin outside in case any were still alive.
I deposited a spare can on my friend and neighbour’s doorstep as I know she has had trouble in the past, but she said her “flying ant” day was a couple of weeks ago.
?????
I have had flying ants once or twice before but this was something else!
Am I alone?
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
