Flying Ants are here!

Just went outside, and my garden and driveway is an eruption of flying ants today.

Blimmin' things were landing in my hair so I have come back inside.

    God they are everywhere. My garden is covered in the things.
    Flames in the Garden of Eden
    Heaven in pieces at my feet
    I faced the raging ruins
    Of a million sleepless nights
    I need to rest my weary head
    On your resurrection bed.

    Yep, they're here too :mad: We were just relaxing in the conservatory when DH noticed the dog was chasing something in the garden. Looked outside to see swarms of them everywhere! DH grabbed the dog and brought him in so we could close all the windows and doors. Horrible things :(

    I'm down in Kent today and they are swarming here - the windscreen is a right mess!
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    Our chickens adore them and go wild feasting on them.

    I got a few zapped up in the dyson...very satisfying as I strike back on those brave enough to come inside.
