I had the same problem 3 years ago. My garden is one giant ants' nest and I'll never be able to get rid of them but I found they were in the house too, hundreds of them. I discovered that they were coming in through a tiny gap between the skirting board and the wall in the dining room.

First I put ant powder down but it didn't kill them all off so I laid a little bit of sugar on the carpet next to the skirting board. That brought them out in droves and I just stood by with the Dyson hose and sucked them up. When I'd got all the ones that had appeared I pushed ant powder down the crack with a knife and then used Polyfilla to seal it up. I haven't had any in the house since then.

i like the little buggers but not in the house someone said try talc so i've scattered it outside the house so far not one tonight think mine are nocternel they only come out at night thanks for the ideas i knew i could relay on all of you;-)

[flashy]

if they where outside i'd say burn um

[glasgow guy]

for the short remedy talcum powder does the trick as ants and such like insects die due to their pores being blocked by the powder and they suffocate basically...ant powder just has the permethrin (sp) to finish them off if you will...
oh and the woodlice killer powder you may see in the shops is the same stuff thats in the bottles of ant killer powder...same stuff - different labels..

[flashy]

well thats false advertising innit

Can't remember ever seeing any ants around my property as yet, however, when I visit my friends in Spain, just love watching them devour the peanut we may have dropped on the patio from the night before .. takes them forever .. quite fascinating, aren't they ?

Went to Rhodes with my friend and the accommodation was less than adequate .. friend went to bed in downstairs 'space' and shouted of me (well, screamed actually) .. ants crawling in a line on the wall above her head .. found the entry, blocked it up and no more ants. Can't exterminate 'em, just stop them from getting in appears to be the best policy ...
