That worked under the slab they were under. Took 4 kettles to get them gone though.
Don't fancy doing it round the rest of the garden, I don't want to kill the grass any more than it has
Yet more ants :-(

They are back again, on the skirting by the front door and they are flying ants, which I have never seen before - at least they behave like ants, but have wings - so I have sprinkled the area with Nippon, which a few minutes later, resulted in a pile of dead and dieing ones on the carpet.

I wonder why Nipon white ant powder doesn't seem to work - I wonder if they're immune to the active ingredient which I think is permethrin

Yes, I just looked that up. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15603808/flying-ant-day-2021/
It may explain the absolutely mega flock of seagulls I just mentioned in another thread.
I just checked, nope didn't work, killed a lot of them but not enough by looks of things.
Why can't these things just die dammit.

So it seems to be some type of mini plague with swarms of these around the place
Where have they come from - Europe?

From the bit I have read, they are our own local ants, just multiplying due to the good weather now, preceded by the wet weather. The flying ones are just the male ants, with a few queens looking to mate and nest - not here you don't.
