Ahhhhhhhhhhh ants

[Kazbah]

BH&G last night suggested vinegar spray - it's what I use to clean benchtops anyhows!!!

We had a problem with Ants last year, we couldn't get rid of them so we called in pest control. The guy had a "special" bait that he placed amongst the trail of Ants, they think it is food and take it back to the nest and it takes them all out. Might be worth a try if they keep coming back.

we recently had a huge ant problem, the only thing that worked was two mixtures, one was borax and very finely grated parm cheese the other was borax, icing sugar and cornflour, it took weeks, yes weeks to kill the entire nest but it did work, it was sooooo frustrating, we had them everywhere, throughout my pantry (nothing kept the away) bathroom, shower etc...
we were told not to spray the nest as doing that just kills those in it which therefore means the remaining ants start new nests

ETA these recipe were from shannon lush

we also did capfuls of polenta once, with the theory behind it that they couldn't digest it. The ants did disappear, but a colleague (it was at work) was secretly spraying when the boss wasn't looking, so we don't know which one it actually was.

I'm subbing too. We use Antrid which is borax based... they have stick on baits which I use when they're running up and down a wall

[Olive]

we had those baits too and they are useless

They took a few days, but we never found ants in the same spot again after using them
