For the third year on the trot I had ants in the most ridiculous place imaginable!

They were in the overflow of a bathroom basin, and the only direct entry is through the vent fan.

Three tiny newborn on the floor so I sprayed all around the edge which meant they have to cross whichever way they were going.

Then two on then two on the ledge behind the basin, and later three dead by the plug hole, so now it was a  fair certainty that they were in the same place again!

On Thursday I filled the basin right to the top,  which means that it will also be at the top inside the overflow.

Friday morning this is what I saw......[   This image is no longer available.   ]

The water is still to the top but they are all deceased.

Haven't got any ant issues but I did have a bumble bee in my kitchen a bit earlier, which was nice. Haven't seen a butterfly this year though which is so strange as there are lots of trees and shrubs in the garden b

It's crazy!

Can't be coincidence, but how can they possibly be guided to this place, a year later?

It was the same with the wasp nest, in the stone, forming an external chimney.

I dealt with this, and pointed the hole in front of the nest, so there will have been very many dead in and around the nest.

The following year the wasps were going mental around the immediate area and going up and down trying to find a way in.

They finally were going right to the top of the chimney stack and presumably flying up and down to the point of exhaustion,
and some made it to the bottom, and were dead on the hearth.

The rest of those that got in were dead on the window sill, and I'm sure there will be very many behind the fire.

Must update my wasp alert thread.
