Have your local ones taken flight yet?

They were out in my neck of the woods this afternoon but they're getting a soaking now.

Hi Island just been talking about you, we were nice.

Had the damn flying ants yesterday coming out of the brickwork in my conservatory. Thousands of 'em inside and out. I was like a mad women with my spray because I hate them. After about an hour I vacuumed 'em up and job done.

Errol had them Thursday

Well, if I counted five ants that was about it LOL, only one still had it's wings - maybe they peaked yesterday and I missed them :-(

I could do without the white butterflies all over me brassicas though :-| I'm like a woman possessed dealing with them - well h'achoolie, I am a woman posessed, can't believe I'm squidging the eggs with me bare fingers. *shudders* :-0 :-0

I knew of a site that had a profanity filter set so said word came up as 'thingieroaches' :-0 :-D :-D

Have over the years remembered the date they seem to always appear on and that is over the days of 25/26/27/28 July.

None where I am, thank god. But when I lived at the Borough it was the 26/27 every year.

Have you nicked my frock again Prickles? :-| :-D

Morning Mersey :-D

PP/DC, I think the ants in my garden must have seen the weather forecast and flew before it rained. The 'experts' say they were early this year :-S
