Is it just our neighbourhood or are there ants everywhere at the moment?! Inside and outside the house. No ant killer seems to kill them.

Damn things.

You seem to be rather infested

I know. First a wasp nest then ants. These ants aren't just in the immediate vicinity though. A lot Of neighbours have the white powder down.

Ant Stop is quite good

The one I've got works but there just seems to be a lot of them at the moment. It has been quite mild recently. I hate the cretins.

Seemingly pointless too

Bloody things have actually bitten holes in our plaster and wooden doorframe in the conservatory. I didn't realise how destructive they are.

That sticky gel stuff is shite....I just fed the fuckers for a week.

That White powder stuff did the trick.

They hate mint and lemon.........though are partial to a cup of Earl Grey.

I bought something called Nippon, I think, that is a sticky fluid that ants love to eat. Put a large drop or 10 on a piece of plastic near the holes and they eat it, take it back to the nest and wipe the colony out. It's ace.

I used to surround a hole in my kitchen, where I saw some disappear down, and they would consume, in their hoards, vast amounts of it. Within a week, no more ants.

But they do become immune to it over time.

Anyone know how to get rid of red ants in a lawn?  I have 5 or 6 nests front and back and they are making a right mess.  Have tried ant powder, gel and boiling water and the little fuckers are still there.  Any advice would be appreciated!

Put more stuff down?

I found an ants nest inside the brickwork of my old BBQ when I demolished it last year. There were thousands of ants and eggs. Managed to kill them all off with a mixture of boiling water and ant powder.

Not a problem around my way !  :eat:

I thought you were going to say it was aardvark to get rid of them.

stick the kettle on and boil the fuckers

Cover yourself in jam, lay in the garden for about 15 minutes then roll around like crazy.

Is this not considered normal?

Genius!  Why did I not think of that  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

A job for the wife tonight then.

In Freddie's Ferret's case, a jam roly-poly.

Unless they are coming in your house and slowly eating your children its beyond me why you lot are spending so much time and effort killing them.

Because the little bastards are making the front lawn a right mess.

You obviously didn't see what happened to Charlie in that episode of MacGyver...
