snap , got them in my house too, and whats even worse is that the bairn cant keep still. I think he may have a batch of them in his pants.
I am going to put some ant powder down by the washing machine in case they are coming through from there

they tend to come in when it rains heavily i find can you not just have a look and see what type of clothing they have on and listen to there accents to see where there coming from, they may be illegal immigrANTS, if so you could report them to the authoritys and have them deported ill go and find something to do now

or, heres another idea, i have a book entitled 'HOW TO SCARE ANTS' do one of the things in it that scare ants and then when the little buggers run to get away from you they will naturally run out of the house the same way they came, revealing there secret doorway thus enabling you to block said entry/exit route.

right thats it, i am definatly stoppping posting shite now

have ya got a wall paper stripper, the steam thinging, turn it on and steam the bastards, the die instantly

we have just had to give in and call it a day for th exterminators to sort it !!!!, there where doing our head in big time

a gezzer just strolls round out house with a silver plat food sprayer and sprays all the corners of the house, the kitchen and the bathrooms and then the little stick on ant houses round where theres water suply as they hang about near that we was told

not seen a ant since so maybe they moved to the neighbours

btw if there in ya kitchen check ya kettle for em !!!, we always clean ours hour when we use it ( have a serious lime scale issue where i live ) as aparantly the hunt the water down and drown in ya kettle


so be warned


whats the fucking point of ants anyway ?????, seriously cant see the use

Get the Mrs to hover up more often and they will soon go

Seriously though, last time I had them just had to make sure the place was doubly clean and they went. No food for them to take means they wont come looking!

Its really strange, after you stamped on a few ants, their mates come and pick up the bodies a few minutes later..
