A couple more "infestations" for everyone's amusement. Both occured whilst I was travelling through Asia in 1990 on a Yamaha XT600Z (Tenere).

Bombay Jan '90
I went to meet a friend at the airport in the early morning (still dark). Swung my leg over the bike and hit the starter. Immediately I felt a number of alive "things" pushing against my inner thighs which I obligingly opened and 4-5 huge rats jumped out from the spaces behind the cylinder/carb where I presume they had been sleepig until I came along. I don't like rats - they give me the creeps. That incident didn't help!

Songkla to Krabi, Thailand 1990
Stopped for a roadside drink/cig and noticed a flying ant walking on the inside of my goggles (attached to an open face Arai helmet with face guard). Closer inspection revealed that a colony of black ants (thousands of them complete with white egg collection) had moved in the previous night and were living between the helmet liner and polystyrene shock absorber. That explained why I had been suffering from an itchy head whilst riding! The can of Raid in my tank bag and a lot of shaking solved the problem and I was soon back on the road to Krabi. 3 days later I checked my helmet before putting it on and found another colony of thousands ants/eggs had moved in (this time the ants were red)!!

I have never had another problem with ants in my helmet since that day!

However, when I stayed in Chiang Mai later on the same trip I took an instant dislike to the stream of ants that were running up the hotel bathroom wall into a hole in the ceiling so I give them a "hit" of Raid (especially into the hole in the ceiling). before sitting on the "throne" with my new bike mag that I had just picked up from AMEX. Minutes later I saw "something" alive descending from the ceiling directly above me. It was a snake exiting the Raid filled ceiling space backwards (i.e. tail first). That caused me to exit the bathroom with my jeans round my ankles whilst the snake went the opposite direction out of the open window..

The moral of that last story is "Don't shoot Raid at ants that aren't directly bothering you".

That's all:-)
