ants
lovely day today so been out in the garden -
I've found 4 ant colonies - 2 of which had a 'hatching' this morning where 100's of flying ants took off. Are these ants harmful in any way? Will they get into the house and be a nuisance? Should I get rid of them? thanks for any advice, g. |

A kettle of boiling water down each nest is the traditional remedy, although the way the RSPCA (Really Silly People Criminalising All) is going you'll soon get sent down for doing that. Just what is wrong with drowning unwanted cats and dogs, its the traditional way! |

A kettle of boiling water down each nest is the traditional remedy, Very interesting to watch what happens later. The live ants then bring out all the ead ants and take them quite some distance from the nest. The birds then come along and eat the boiled ants :-) Just what is wrong with drowning unwanted cats and dogs, its the traditional way! What a marvellous idea. I will drink to anything which gets rid of the vermin cat from the garden. :-)) Mike -- The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.
