Default ANTS!

The grass in my garden has red ants nests dotted about and these fookers bite!

Any tips on getting rid of the buggers

If I flame throwed them I'd have no grass left

They seem to eat the ant powder and grow stronger

Even put those little pyramids down and I think they moved in

Boiling water does work but obviously when your talking about grass its not an option so get some of the best powder or spray
