Ant KILLER for indoor use

[Phooey]

Any recommendations for an ant killer for indoor use? The problem is worse today - got about 20-30 flying ants on the hallway floor and climbing up the windows
Also needs to be child freindly too, we have a 20 month toddler

Nippon liquid ant killer, about £2 a pop, put it by the nest or where they are coming in. The ants feed on it then take it back to the nest to feed the others.

Biological control.

Get the toddler to eat the ants...

Nope, she's shit scared of em - thinks everything that crawls or flies is a 'bee' Doh!


Suppose i could try coating them in chocolate

IMHO toddlers are usually only frightened of something 'cos their mums are frightened too...

erm...i...might...be...to blame for that one - if a bee or wasp comes near me, i run away flapping like a bird


Would rather wrestle a crocodile than have a wasp on me

This ^^^ only thing that properly kills them all off.

Put it on an old 2p on or by a run.

Normal fly spray kills them too. I came home the other year to find the living room full of flying ants. They'd come in through an airbrick and then through a gap in the floorboards. Spray the room and leave it for 30 mins and repeat. Hoover up the bodies later.
