Hello,
We have come on holiday and we have an ant invasion in the kitchen. I normally don't mind ants outside, but when I come back into the kitchen they are eating any food left over. So now I'm want to defend myself.
Does anyone know how to make an ant trap? If so what's the best way to do it?
Cheers

We had an invasion recently. House was spotless. Nothing obvious for them to feed off of.

We had the same and bought a huge pump bottle thing from B&Q. Then I just sprayed all the outside wall and cracks with it. I also got some powder, which they're supposed to take back to the nest and kill the queen. The little buggers are still everywhere in the garden, but they've not been in the house since.

Well I have looked into the shooting of them and I think I may get in trouble with my girlfriends parents if I let loose with a 12g in the kitchen. I then researched an air rifle and found this....

I think it may be too slow against a swarm of the buggers. I found some ant killing spray but even going around like Rambo it doesn't seem to deter them and the instructions are in Spanish which is no good.
I'm thinking the Sellotape, (doublesided) with some sugar in the middle is a good plan as I have both if those things in the cupboard
Any more methods will be helpful
Cheers

There must be some kind of spray, surely? When we returned home from holiday yesterday we found that our cats had brought us a gift in the form of lots of little, jumpy, bitey, b
d fleas. Using flea spray, we kiled the bds and now they're lying dead all over the floor until the vacuum comes out tomorrow. They won't be doing that again.

Think my earlier post was a bit too subtle..We get loads of these little bds here, I tried direct sprays, traps, contact perimeter sprays, cleaning..all don;t really work (or work short term). The best results I got was with this stuff..it is absolutely brilliant. You squirt it onto their trail and they eat it and also take it back to the nest to kill it from the inside. 1 tube of this is more than enough to kill a whole colony....made a massive difference here (where it's basically - 1 big anthill).
