Everywhere. FUCKING EVERYWHERE. Hundreds of them. Had them for about a week now (not a problem, mostly around toaster, so managable) but when the weather hit (Surrey) today and yesterday, hell has hit the fan.

Killed about 20-30 giant bastard ants (Hoping they're not carpenter..) and I keep finding them everywhere. Can't close windows because of the heat (only hole in the room) and refuse to close kitchen windows for the same reasons.

Oh my god, how I detest these little black bastards.. I swear, I'm going to hoard them up tomorrow and burn them all to death. Anthrax(-_-) my own home!

*Cries*

I know the feeling. It was almost impossible to go out for a cigarette at work today because there were literally thousands of flying ants swarming around. Saw someone take a lighter and deoderant can to them at one point, was fun to watch! =P

It could be worse.

Yesterday I counted 7 flies on my sister's back and 2 on her arm while she was taking a nap on the sofa.

Theyr annoying as hell the little buggers.

Try salt, worked for me.

Just a good thick line of salt on entry places, they don't like it much.

Also should get every ant, they use scouts and then form a resource line to that spot.

Apparently they dislike Talcum powder, it worked for me a few years ago until I had chance to buy some ant bait.

We were attacked by flying ants. They don't give a shit about salt on the floor.

I've been told lots of things cinnamon is one they don't like. They also hate spray able bleach, I had lots of fun last night, killed quite a few. None this morning as it's a bit cooler. Going to go hunting for then later I think.

i dropped some sugar last year and was too lazy to clear it up. A little while later ants came in, picked up all the sugar and took it out to their ant HQ and never came back.


I like ants.

If I put my cats food down in a certain place, about an hour later you get a column of ants to it, the cats don't know what to make of it, they just eat their dinner quicker.

Go out and buy one of those net-like clothes then either make a wooden frame that fits your windows and put the cloth in it - or put the cloth up with nails or something.

This is pretty much the only real solution to flying bastards if you need to keep a window open.
