Title: Flying ants
Post by: The Moan Ranger on July 22, 2008, 03:29:59 PM
In sunny salubrious Surrey, the skies are full of these bastards and their non-bewinged bretheren crunch underfoot. Horrible bloody things.

Just learn from this example Nick, no spraying....

NEW YORK, (Reuters Life!) - A New Jersey man trying to exterminate insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported on Monday.

Isias Vidal Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80 percent of his apartment was destroyed, Eatontown, New Jersey police told the newspaper.

The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that blew out the apartment's front windows and triggered a fire that quickly spread, the newspaper said.

Police told the newspaper that the Saturday blaze also caused smoke damage to the apartment above.

One good thing is that all the orb spiders are having an absolute feast - their webs are laden with the airborne irritants.

And the next one that lands in my Young's is going to get a right stern talking to.

We have tiny, tiny ants at the moment...  shrugs:

Each morning there is a 'Tom & Jerry' style convey from the garden into the kitchen...   noooo:

Remember... Dettol kitchen spray - instant death for ants.  ;)
