Ants...

Little xxxxers are all ove the place right now, crawling not flying variety. Our kitchen and bathroom face west and it might be the sunshine bringing em out? Jane of the Jungle is on constant patrol with a giant ant killer spray. Anybody else got em? Thought I'd ask on the General B ant er forum... :oops:

We have bastards half the year. They come in to escape the heat. We also get the tiny ghost ones that can get in supposedly air tight containers. Mix boric acid with sugar and add a little water to make a paste. Put where the ants see and keep it up until you see them no more. Keep out of reach if kids, pets and idiots.

Ant powder, works a treat, used to get them under the patio no show for the last three years.

Boiling water down the nest I always find works.

They can be useful in keeping other pests down though, so be careful what you wish for!

Was always told to avoid powder as well a's anything that might tempt them indoors. Raid in a red can works a treat. It's a thick laquer that not only kills email but blocks the holes as well

I take it they die from a lack of communication with the outside world?

You do *have* to be on email these days.

Remember my pissed up housemate at uni shouting at them and telling them to fcuk off.
Couldn't see them in the morning so he claimed it had worked.
Funnily enough it hadn't.
