SDS Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 every night there are 100 of them swarming around a couple light fixtures upstairs. Little !@#$ers. I have to suck 'em up with the Dyson so they swirl to their death... until the next batch arrives next evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huuuge Bills Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 every night there are 100 of them swarming around a couple light fixtures upstairs. Little !@#$ers. I have to suck 'em up with the Dyson so they swirl to their death... until the next batch arrives next evening. I have a mental image: A middle aged man, wearing a catchers mask, long sleeve shirt with the arms duct taped shut, winter hat pulled down tight, gloves, and goggles. Holding a huge vaccum cleaner in the air waving it around as you curse a bunch of flying ants to hell. Then after they are all inside the vaccum, you take off the catchers mask throw it to the ground, get down on one knee, point at the ants, and mock them. "Who's the big man now? HUH? That's right, I'M THE MOTHER MAN!!!! You want some more? Didn't think so..." At this point your wife walks into the room, half asleep. "Honey, it's 2 A.M., come to bed, you can get the big bad ants tomorrow." You then, realizing how ridiculous you look, agree to come to bed. As you leave the room, you stare down the ants, and mumble "This isn't over". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Been thinking about this, if they're really big they could be Bull ants/Carpenter ants or if they're small with iridescent wings they're wood boring ants. Bad news man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad news man. I'm a bit further south than Scott, but in my area, it is not uncommon so see these so called "swarmers" you refer to. The big flying carpenter ants. As long as you see them outside, and not inside you should be ok I believe. My neighbor had an infestation however, so I have them coming out to check the house...
