ozzmeister Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 ANTS! The little bastards are invading my kitchen and shops are closed to get poison. Theyve got in my dishwasher and generally being a menace! So far I've cleaned all surfaces, put boiling water over the area they are coming in, and also put talcum powder down (website said that was a good idea). Any one else got any good tips?

dune Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Petrol. It works well with bee/wasps nests. I had a nest in the ground last year and poured petrol down and that soon got rid of them. Don't light the petrol, the vapours is what kills them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try putting it through a cycle I'm pretty sure the ants won't like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzmeister Posted 24 May, 2011 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Right, weve now added proper Ant killer to the mix, and have raid spray - i know its for wasps but im sure ants wont be too keen either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't light the petrol, the vapours is what kills them. Bloody hell....at that price? Why didn't you just throw a gold ingot at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Anyone travelling to Spain buy some Baygon by Bayer, says it not only does Hormigas (ants) but Cockroaches too. This stuff is Thermonuclear Warfare in a can with the added faint aroma of bitter Almonds. Someone said peppermint oil from the aroma therapy section of various stores in little bottles wiped around in the kitchen where ants are running keeps them away and is not so toxic.

Micky Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Right, so the problem was an ant, or to be more precise some ants. The solution: Boiling water, talcum powder, antstop, flamethrower, bleach, boric acid, petrol, drowning, raid, crushing and finally a bit of 'thermonuclear warfare in a can'....!!!! I'd fukin' hate to see what some of you guys would do if you had a cockroach in the house, ffs...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember spraying a big Antiguan roach with Baygon as it ran up a wall trying to escape, bits of it appeared to be melting and falling off as it ran, but it carried on going!

big al Posted 25 May, 2011 Share Posted 25 May, 2011 Put a line a Jeyes fluid around your door frame or where they get in and ants will not cross it. Lasts for months before doing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
