Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

Been in the garden today doing a bit of potting and tidying up. I have a few pots which I have turned into planters.
I moved a few of them and the there were a load of ants under each of them. I put my size 10's on them, no problem. Calm before the storm. I Thought, job done. Wrong! Then another lot kept appearing in dribs and drabs. Only a couple at a time but could l catch them with my foot without serious speed , no! I remember when I was a kid we used to sit on the flags and kill them with a wooden lolly stick and we had no trouble catching them.

I did manage to kill a few but as soon as I did another couple would appear. Normally I would not bother with them but last year I had them in my outhouse so i'm a bit more vigilant now. Dethlac is the way forward
