has anyone else noticed the plague of flying ants today in Sydenham?
I was treading on them as I walked up Kirkdale from Cobbs corner.
I had to close my car windows as i drove down sydenham road earlier today as they were flying everywhere.
We get them every year in my experience. I think they need ideal climatic conditions and they all come out at once. This year I have been seeing a few for the last few days but the weather has changed and they haven't been as prodigious as in previous years. They are also very localised; I remember a couple of years ago Kent House and Knighton Park Roads were swarming with them one evening but there were none in Sydenham or Trewsbury roads.
