Answer 3

We had trouble with flying ants, and we mixed ant killer powder (available in most gardening stores and supermarkets) and syrup together and put it on bits of tinfoil and left it theyre for a few days. We then did this on alternate weeks for 2 months and they were gone completly and didn't come back.

Answer 4

Take away  their  pilot's  license.

Answer 5

I do believe ants fly when they are reproducing.

When it gets warm.

I did read that if they are indoors, you do need to call the pest control, because the colony will get bigger.

Good luck!

Answer 6

pull their wings off

Answer 8

Call Rentokil.

Answer 9

They may be termites in their swarming phase - I would call TERMINEX.
