Pottering in the garden and suddenly 3 nests have called time gentlemen please?

If the two at either end of the patio are connected, the slabs may be resting on thin air!

Got them in our kitchen along with 'normal' ants. Well that was until they got a dose of ant killer.

I uncovered a fair sized nest while at work on Thursday evening. No choice but to get in there with my rubber gloves and scoop out about 10kg worth of ants and nest.

In Boroughbridge, theyr'e back! There was so many I vacuumed them up then stuck some ant killer down the hoover to make sure (it was either that or NTFO)
I think theyr'e coming in from a gap round the outside tap, the offending gap will be sealed by tomorrow morning.

Leeds as well here (casvegas side), got home about 4:30 today to find 4 different nests unleashing havoc! They were bloody everywhere. Couldn't have the doors or windows open and it was warm today!!
