My turn to winge.

[Guest Guest75]

My turn today - not often I'll complain about anything here..................BUT.

 

 

Inch Ants............

 

Why did the Big Fella upstairs create the stinging little devils??

 

Their name gives a clue to their size and boy does their bite bring tears to your eyes.

 

Over the last couple of days while harvesting I've managed to stir up a few nests and hell are they aggressive.

 

Bitten 3 times !!!!! Aaaarrrgghhh:mad:

 

Rant over......................

 

Bottle of red tonight

[Guest Django]

Awww poor little ants:wubclub: If someone came by Tyke Towers with a bulldozer and started knocking it down I bet you'll be a bit aggressive. :biglaugh:

Sorry can't give sympathy while your in Adelaide and we're still in Belfast:biglaugh::biglaugh:

 

Jealousy is an awful thing

[Guest Nick11]

Have to agree Tyke.

Seems a lot about at the mo

[Guest donna T]

This is definitely not an ant to have sympathy with - horrid things!!

There is no justification for any rotten stinking thing with six legs. They all need to die...God was clearly having a laugh!

Know what you mean, had the pleasure of being bit last year whilst clearing our block, all I was doing at the time was pouring 2 stroke into their nest to set fire to it, it seems the least littile thing irritates these buggers,

 

Hope after a drop of Shiraz the pain is a distant memory,

I had one in my house once - it was about 3 inches long though - it was horrible!

[The Monaghans]

They really are the most vile things. We'd only been here a couple of weeks when I got bitten by one (nothing on earth will persuade me to tell you where I got bitten...) and when I tried to kill it I had to stamp on the damn thing about 20 times and it still got up and stuck two fingers up at me! I don't know which I hate more though - inch ants or black ants which run up your leg if you stand still for more than two seconds:mad:

[Guest deb and stoo]

Yo dudes

Someone told me the other day that they are not really ants but flightless wasps and they dont bite you but sting you like a UK wasp would and its supposed to feckin hurt loads, fingers crossed and touch wood they dont seem to want to struggle up our windy hill.

[Guest theforrests]

Agree - they are vile - found some on the house wall yesterday - just hope there's no holes big enough for them to actually get in the house. Yuck!

Good job they don't come into the house!!!

 

I often see the odd one hanging around near the house.

 

They do watch you,their heads turn as you move........he,he - then when they ain't looking the Boot of Doom comes squishing down.

[Guest theforrests]

I tell you - they gave us a real shock! We noticed a couple high up on the wall, so they got sprayed. But then about 30 mins later - there were LOADS of them all over the front of the house - and they had wings! We just decided to leave them be - there were too many, and they were too high up. Double yuck!

[minkyme29]

Yuk, hope you're healing ok Tyke. Have to say tho' that they are quite a spectacle...saw a flying version the other day and boy was he a whopper - 'inch and a half ant!'
