It was Sunday 22nd July up here in Teesside. Our town centre was awash with them and people were literally running around like mad things trying to get away from them. I have never seen so many in one place before and the local Savers shop was inundated with requests for insect repellent spray. |

Yes Maggie, we were staying in Winchester on 4 July and that is when they flew there. But not at home, that was later in the month(can't remember which date that was). |

No flying ants but an abundance of fly flies! They're just awful this year despite fly pens, spray, horrible sticky papers (yuk!!) and fly swats still the bu###s keep coming!!! Wasps have been a problem too. I've been stung! but thankfully not OH, (imagine the fuss!!) I've got a wasp trap, and have made others out of jam jars. We've caught heaven knows how many and still they keep coming!! Hopefully they'll disappear when the weather breaks! |

Touch wood we haven't had the flying Ants 'so far'.Which is most unusual .Plenty of others though on and amongst the patio slabs. The cat always seems to like to lie where they are all are :-S then I have to get the cat brush out :-S |

And 23 July as well as more recent days. It’s a pity they can’t synchronise by region. |
