Hahaha! Not a bad idea considering how messy it is! It is one room i do NOT clean he wanted 'manland' he can clean up after himself so really seeing ants take over does not suprise me in the slightest just i dont do ants in my house.

I swear my house is built on top of a giant ant hill or sand dune......they are every where when the weather starts to warm up. Only antrid works for us. Damn ant hill!

I used Eucalyptus oil the other day (heard about it somewhere) and they moved off quick-smart. Will be doing that in future!

Borax/sugar/water mix.

There is a bit of info online about it, you make up a solution, put it out in little containers (with the cat and baby maybe in a cupboard where the ant like to be or inside an old margarine container with a hole cut in or something) and like ant rid, they eat, take back to nest and pass on the poison to the nest.

You can get borax in the supermarket laundry aisle and when your ants are gone you can use the borax to make your toilet bowl cleaner, boost the power of your washing powder, take out stains, make Gak for the kids, experiment with crystals…. It is an awesome product!

A friend of mine got me to put bay leaves around the spots where the ants had their trails and they've disappeared.
