Flying Ant Day

[Neville's Breakfast]

Seems to be quite a few in our part of the Wirral. I will take the 30 degree heat and put up with the ants though.

Just had a garden full of the buggers

Kicking off here in Southwick. My garden is full of flying ants today. Pigeons and seagulls gorging themselves on them.

Been sat in the sun in south Portslade and suddenly realised there was a shit load in the garden!

Loads on the evening dog walk through West West Hove. Seagulls pecking the main roads, oblivious to traffic, which is always a sure sign.

Early days here in North Kent, with a chill northern wind blowing, but soon to be infused with ant-stimulating essence of [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION]'s pizza.

Just came in to start the “Flying Ant Day 2022” thread as there’s a fair few of the ******** around Findon this evening.

Utter wankers.

Driving back from Lewes to Worthing this evening, so many were hitting the windscreen it sounded like rain

A few Seagulls in Queen's Park returning from an evening out on the Flying Ant Lash. I anticipate a full on row between the couple on the opposite roof later.

Had an army of them burst out from a small gap in one of the skirting boards earlier today after having new carpet put down in the hall (previously laminate flooring) Never seen anything like it before! I'm presuming there is a big nest in the wall cavity and the new carpet sealed multiple small holes creating a choke point in the skirting board?

Spent most of the evening trying to get rid of them and treat the area.

Yep saw my first one of the summer today.

Local journalism at its best. There's even a schoolboy spelling error.

Hove reporting in.

It's on.

I'm hoping that my current situation (in the house, working my way through Covid) means I miss the little buggers. Might keep an eye out for daredevil seagulls swooping down to pick them off the road - hopefully dodging the traffic - then drunkenly flying off again.

This might explain there being loads of Seagulls on the outfield at the County Ground. They've taken over.
