Any way to prevent these appearing in the summer? Usually I don't mind the
odd nest or two, but there are hordes of them, and every summer I get bitten
at least a dozen times.

Our local radio expert has no offers of remedies. We have swarms of them
under every paving slab and flower pot and even in flower pots. I get bit as
often as you.

The usual control is borax and sugar I believe.

There's not a lot you can do. For the short term you can kill them, but as
you say they are everywhere. Each time you kill a colony it just leaves a
space for some more to move in.

hundred of them from critical areas.
