Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I hate flying ant day! I thought it was going to be Saturday as I saw two of them but I think they were just scouting the area.

"Very carefully", sticky tape...;-)

The natural reaction is to swat the bee which may have left its small barbed sac of 'poison' attached to your skin... Effectively we sting ourselves...

The barb is only tiny and with sticky tape you can lift it out...;-)

Oops... Perhaps, on reflection, I wasnt quite clear...

Hover the lit end about a quarter inch above the outer limit of the bite, just long enough to feel the heat on your skin... Slowly spiral in to the centre of the bite. Take lit end

away and blow on skin to cool down... Repeat a couple of times which will effectively "cook" the poison.

Its a trick I was taught in Italy... And it seems to work...

Flying ant day was yesterday.

Came home from work, absent mindedly walked into the kitchen and when I eventually notices, my cappuccino coloured walls had lard dark patches on it. I had swarms of the damn things.

I bravely ran out and got my next door neighbour to come and do battle with them!!
