Dread to think where they are for the rest of the time

FIL's kitchen was infested with the brutes a few years ago, all over worktops, cupboard doors etc, took a few months of determined effort to get shot of them

[mallyh]

everytime I find a nest I spray them but they still keep popping up x

I had an infestation of the damn things. I got a pack of two
DOFF Ant killer bait station. By the forth day not an ant in sight.

tried that minty ,didn't work .I even bought some round ant traps and put in my pots but they didn't work ,the damn things are everywhere x

phone your council they give advice on pests and insect infestations... Environmental health I think...they sent an expert to me in Norfolk when I had a problem with beasties I could not identify/ deal with..was free too

[mallyh]

I think our bungalows were just built on a giant ants nest as everyone in the road has the problem x

It was probably flying day - strange time when all the flying ants fly from their nests. Birds won't eat them, they taste bad!
