ants

[encee]

help needed.we keep getting invaded by ants indoors.we put powder and all the usual stuff & find dead ants but are not getting rid of them.we even had a coulple crawl on us while watching tv.i am at my wits end now.any ideas.has anyone else got this problem.by the way dont know where they are coming from.

forget the powder, i always use the clear liquid Nipon, place several blobs of the stuff on sheets of paper around the house (keep kids and animals away). this stuff smells sweet and they will hunt it down for feeding, in not time at all you will have a feeding frenzy!

yu are right.they are coming out of a hole in skirting board.is it worth bunbing the hole up.or will they come out somewhere else.reminds me of the sales/there are loads.

You wont believe this, but if you draw a line of chalk, the ants wont walk past/over it.

Have fun watching a whole line suddenly stop and pile up at the front =D

Get the pest control company Rentokil in - they do a good job.

Don't bother with Rentokil - ants are usually a short-lived nuisance. In my experience even if you do nothing they disappear as quickly as they have come. No idea why!
