Had loads in the garden today...are they drones?

I'd prefer KFC.

Scarydoll · 08-08-2010 9:56pm

Loads of them out the back today. Does this mean good weather?

MultiUmm · 08-08-2010 9:57pm

The invasion has begun ...... :eek::eek::eek:

And I for one welcome our new insect overlords!

Were there as many around years ago...?I don't remember any ants when I was growing up.

Bring em on. I just bought one of those tennis racket zappers and I still haven't had a chance to use it yet.

it may mean good weather, but it mostly means lots and lots of ants getting it on...

No, it means your house will be full of ants in the very near future.

Horrible, horrible, horrible creatures. Used to be overrun with them when we lived in London. They'd managed to nest under the bathroom floor. We used to take off the bath panel and light a can of deodorant as a flame thrower and kill hundreds, if not thousands of them. I still have nightmares. Then one Summer they didn't appear. I think they got the hint. Still used to have to walk to the tube station through them flying and just being on the ground. Made me want to puke so it did.
