We live in the North West and ants have started to come into the house.
Can anyone tell me why they are out and about at this time of the year?
Are they Christmas shopping by any chance :-)

Coming in out of the cold and found a nice food supply some where?

We don't have ants, too cold.

That's what I thought, but it was frosty last night with very little
sunshine through the day. There has been more sunshine last week than
there is now.
We don't usually see the little buggers till March. We have no ant bait
packs, talcum powder or ant spray right now, so the buggers have caught
us on the wrong foot.

How bizarre. You've not disturbed them outside?
I'd put a big loads of sugar near their nest and spend an hour
watching them go mental and taking it all away. Ants are ace.

It'd possibly be best to sell the house.
