Thousands of ants invade women’s hotel room and cover bathroom walls

A woman horrified to find a huge colony of ants covering the floor, walls and ceiling after walking into her hotel bathroom.

Melissa McGarr, 26, had showered not long before and was returning to brush her hair when she spotted the ants at a hotel in Cat Ba, Indonesia.

The freelance copywriter, from Phoenix, Arizona, shared a video of her ‘horrible’ find online.

She said: ‘It was midnight and I went and found an employee, he sprayed them down with the shower hose but said that they were coming out of the outlet (socket).

‘He gave me keys to go sleep in a different room around 1am and the next day told me I could go back to my room and there wasn’t a single ant left.

‘I have no clue what he did. I stayed about another week and never saw another one.

‘It made me very wary every time I opened the door.’

On the subject of unwanted visitors, warehouse workers in Oldham, Manchester got a creepy surprise when a venomous spider the size of a hand appeared between boxes shipped over from China.

Huntsman spiders are among the biggest in the world, and skin-crawling photos showed the stowaway spider’s crushed corpse inside a box.

One employee said: ‘It gave me a heart attack – I was there with my husband and I jumped away and hid behind him.’
