    ::) sat here reading this with my three year old who said "why don't you just stand on them, that costs nothing" scary but he's got a point.

    To quote Adam and the Ants - Ant Music

    Don’t tread on an ant he’s done nothing to you
    There might come a day
    When he’s treading on you
    Don’t tread on an ant you’ll end up black and blue
    You cut off his head
    Legs come looking for you:eek:

    get some garlic cloves, crush them then put into a spray bottle with water...this tends to act as a barrier and you will never have to worry about vampires...(or any visitors who don't like garlic!!!)

    Does anybody know how ants manage to get into a bathroom with no windows?!

    I've spotted two scurrying around the floor this week - should I be worried?!
