Anybody else getting ant calls already?

Even in the cold weather last week I had five ant call-outs and another three so far this week. The last two years have been pretty poor for ant jobs for me so maybe this year is about to make up for it?

I don't know where you guys are from but here in sunny stoke on trent ive been doing ant jobs since the start of the year. My first routine call after christmas was to a bingo club which had ants in the cellar. All it takes round here is one sunny couple of days and the phone doesn't stop!! I've noticed wasps jobs have started slow this year up till now i've done none. Last year for me they were on the go from the end of january.

Wasps from the end of January, presumably not nests but queens coming out of hibernation. What was the treatment?

surely advice is the best thing for customers with emerging queens.
this can not be described as a "wasp job".......can it?
i thought you was doing wasp jobs meaning nests.

"maybe its my small female mind"?????????
what are you on? you obviously have a bit of a problem being a woman but dont assume that we do. it doesnt matter to me what you have between your legs and it certainly doesnt matter to the pests.
i'd love to know why you so quick to mention your sex, unless you have a problem with it.........
