That time of year again

[Master Bates]

Ants all over the bloody place, the big ones and the flying ones, ****ing ****es me off. Gotta pick my nephew up in a minute from school, can't even wear a hoodie to stop the b@stard things flying into my head cause it's too hot

[Master Bates]

Nuked the minefield of ants nests that appeared in the driveway with the white powder earlier. They came from bloody nowhere....but they aint so happy anymore

no answer to flying ants, they are what they are. normal ants are easy to tame though, draw a line in chalk across your threshold and they will not cross it. you can even write 'no ants' next to it for comedic effect although most ants that i know cannot read tbf (i blame the parents).

 

the above method does actually work, it's something to do with the chalk and ants little fingers (or it it toes?) apparently

The ants probably think the chalk is ant powder.

 

What's more humane, hot boiling water or ant powder?
