Ants are good..


Until they get in your home.. cupboards..


Having said that..


Soil Makers: Like earthworms, ants help create healthy soil. By digging tunnels, ants aerate and turn over the dirt, bring nutrients closer to the surface, and allow rainwater to circulate more fully through the soil.


Seed Sowers: Seed-harvesting ants increase the dispersal, survival, and germination rate of seeds. By carrying them to new habitats and storing them in nutrient-rich ant nests, the seeds can sprout in a safe environment, protected from seed predators as well as drought. This helps plants thrive in the wild.


Pest Police: Many ants prey on the eggs and larvae of bothersome household insects such as flies, fleas, silverfish, bed bugs, and even cockroaches.

You might become a little more tolerant..

P.S. I had an infestation myself in my kitchen and had to use Ant Powder to deal with it.

Tell tale signs in the garden. Piles of very fine 'dust' along gaps in patio slabs.

I've got an ants' nest in my compost bin on my allotment.


Apparently that's because the compost is too dry.


However I'm told that they help to aerate it and don't actually do any harm ......

      Excellent Carpenter Recommendation - Greg

      By Laura AC · Posted

      Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By Ryeman · Posted

      I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional.

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.
