    Ants is in our garden. Lame arse buggers.

    After Nuclear War, Ants and Cockroaches would be the only survivors. After the initial fallout, during which the cockroach would be dominant, Ants would proceed to take over the planet.

    Who knows, the fallout might mutate them into super strong huge-arse ants of death!

    Mate, ants get EVERYWHERE. That won't help.

    You need... to put down some nice sweeties near their nest like. That'll keep them occupied for AGES. Something really sweet they love.

    Or, one lot of ant powder. Right into their nest. Or if it's outside... I haven't tested this yet, but pour some methylated spirits down it into the nest... toss a match!

    I haven't noticed any ants at all this year. Not that I pay much attention to annoying little insects.

    I live in NorthANTS.

    Erm yeah. We get ants at home quite a bit because my brother is generally quite sticky and they tend to follow him about.

    Meths poured on, in and around the source of them then lit works well. Also tried all sorts of shit like silicone sealant - which tends to not only kill the ants but causes smoke damage to anything in the surrounding 5 metre area.

    I had ants, and I put down honey on paper and then squished the paper up and put it in the wheely bin.
    However, no the whole ant population of the North West is back with a vegeance as I discovered last night...I think they know what I did to their little mates! :nervous:

    Im sure your ment to squish a few and leave them, the rest can smell the dead ones and wont come near the danger.

    i think its the opersit with wasps tho, they smell the dead one and seek revenge

    Nippon gel! That's the stuff you want. I'm finally getting the problem under control.

    I put some out the other night on a cd, left it in the kitchen. Went back for something before I went to bed and it was SWARMING with the little buggers. There must have been about 500 ants on the worktop. So it's all well and good cause now they've taken it back to the nest, which should kill the lot.

    You do have to make sure it's the only real available source of food though.
