It's starting to compress some. Temps are getting to freezing and a bit above now. 20180225_125313.jpg 20180225_125253.jpg 20180225_130930.jpg
 
Good Morning Friends :hugs

We had an interesting evening to say the least :rolleyes:

We were just sitting down to dinner when flying ants started invading the house; even though we have screens on the windows and doors, they were squeezing in through any gap they could find.

So, the evening was spent sitting in the dark with just the TV on and this morning before work was spent vacuuming the house, sweeping the bodies off the deck etc. I could hear vacuum cleaners going in a couple of houses and was chatting to the neighbours while they swept their deck also. The town was obviously invaded.

I should have taken pictures of the house before I cleaned it but I was in a hurry to get it done before I started work. They were piled high at the bottom of the back and front screen doors and the kitchen window tracks were overloaded with dead ants plus all over the kitchen floor, benches and in the lounge room.

I did take a picture of under just one street lamp though; a bit hard to see but the orange bits and piles are dead and dying ants and as mentioned, that is just one lamp so imagine that many all over town and on patios and decks and inside houses :oops:

Teila, when you hear of us complaining about stink bugs and lady bugs that bite... What you described is our reality. They lay their eggs through the screens so when they hatch, they are inside the house. They starve to death as there's no food for them here and they are everywhere. But that's life in the country.... I'll gladly take the bugs over the nosy neighbors I had in the city. At least I can kill the bugs on site without fear of jail.
