Afternoon

We appear to have the ants in out kitchen, I have a feeling it is a result of some building work going on behind us.

Any advice for getting rid of the little beasties?

The wife has tried powder, stomping on them etc, but they keep coming back!!

Thanks

Get some Deathlac. It's a clear lacquer that you spray on the entry points. It sticks to their feet so they trample it back to the nest and kill everyone in it, or something equally doomsday-like. It works a treat anyway. Takes a couple of days to kill them off but once it works it works properly, and it't waterproof so you can spray it outside and it won't get washed away

Many years ago, my parents used Nippon gel on little bits of glass which solved their problem where nothing else would. However, this was a long time ago, and although the packaging looks the same, I do not know whether the safety nannies have weakened the mixture. Seems to be some feedback on here - http://www.ciao.co.uk/Reviews/Nippon_Ant_Killer_Li...

Good luck.

RAID works in the same way. Spray it near the entry holes and their runs and they take it back to the nest and then it's ANTICIDE!!!!

That Nippon white powder works for me every year. I have ants making nests all over my lawn every summer. Quick rake over the top to clear the loose earth, quick squirt of Nippon...

.. problem solved, they don't come back in that spot again, bit difficult when they are all dead!

Also, when I've found them inside, I've followed thir trail to the outside, and then squirted Nippon all around their entry point. No more ants.

If this stuff still exists, it's the best thing out there.
