My girl and I often house-sit for her auntie (she's got a massive converted farm-house, but is often on vacation) - and yeah, we have the same ant problem. Good GOD these things are fucking huge compared to the pissy little English ones :-\

ah, you are talking about "stokkmaur". Thats really bad... they eat wood, so they also bite. Black in the ends red in the middle. Its rare they get inside here... lots of those fuckers in the house and the value will drop fast :/ Im just talking about small black ones... if you're talking about them too I wonder how small those in the UK are :/

Locate the hive and pour boiling watre on it or burn it to the ground. Works.

Been in the club for long, but its worse here than my parents place :/

We where a group sitting around my table here last saturday really paranoid that they would get into the drink when we went to the bathroom etc. Seems like there are less of them now. Heard they don't like sound... so trying to listen to music when im not watching TV series/playing ...and actually seems like its helping Very Happy

I solved my ant problem by moving out of my slumlord-run shithole of a building.

I bought one of those raid thingies that looks like a little house for the antz. It has some poison in it which they take to their home and then poison the whole colony. (now I'm a bit sad for the antz Sad)

EDIT: This http://www.killsbugsdead.com/fop_ab.asp
And now they're gone...

Same here.

My ants come when the snow melts (march or aprilish) and at the end of summer.

Those ant trap house things work fuckin great. Smile

Yeah, I was sceptical at first, but now they're gone! I also have raid for bugs, mosquitos (spray and tablets) and those traps, works all the time Very Happy Hate the bugs...

I don't mind bugs, as long as they stay out of the house lol Smile

I don't use raid cause it gets my allergies going and apparently its not good for you at all. I just use a newspaper and kill whatever bug. If I notice there are a bunch of ants or a see them over the course of 2 days, I break out the trap and they are gone in a day or so.

If I go camping tho, I use that spray you spray on yourself so you don't get eaten alive by the fuckin mosquitoes. Hate those things.

We have some small ants as well here during summers, but they aren't that much or a problem. We have this crazy neighbor that feeds homeless cats right in front of the building, and the food attracts ants. Smile But what I hate mostly, and have phobias from, is cockroaches, the big ones. Yuck! We don't have them as big as seen in movies or Fear Factor, for instance, with the hard shell and all, but still, we get some big, flying ones from time to time, and I'm running like crazy from these mofos. Really scary shit for me, and I know people enjoy looking at me running from them. They always find it very amusing watching a big guy like me run like crazy from these little fuckers. Razz

Cockroaches........god......I also hate and have a phobia of. I HATE THEM. Thats one bug, inside the house or outside, I would kill.

Tho if I ever saw a roach in my house, I'd immediately check into a hotel and have my house fumigated. I don't mess around with those things. They disgust me in the most literal way.

I could tell you a story that would make your skin crawl Lee.....

Same with me and wasps mate, which is even worse because when you run - they chase! *shudders* I had the misfortune of being on Skype the other night, chatting with my friends, when a huge-ass wasp came through the window directly in front of me. I freak the fuck out -- and then have to put up with those fuckings taunting me about it >_>

Yeah, usually the smart thing to do with with wasp-like creatures is actually not move at all, and let them finish their business and fly off. Making fast moves (like running) scares them, and they become aggressive. Smile

I can't help it mate, that's the nature of a phobia -- it forces me into a fight or flight response ... with "flight!! FLIGHT!!! FLEE, FUCKER, FLEE!!" invariably being the choice. I'm always freaked that if I stand there, it'll land on me then sting.

Being deathly allergic to the sting doesn't help either Sad

I dunno Sabin. Gotta know more about you.

U can't give someone a nickname for the sake of it. Has to come naturally.
