Can't Get Rids of Ants in Garden

In the hot weather ants can be a nuisance. The flying ants seem to 'swarm' on one day a year, or at least they used to where I lived before so if they have just done it, it should be over and done with by now.

I have found that the only really effective way of getting rid of ants (outside) is to pour boiling water over the eggs - if you can find them!

I couple of weeks ago we woke to find a few in our kitchen and have read up on them. Apparently they don't like cinnamon and we read that a cotton wool ball soaked in a water & cinnamon solution wiped around an area would keep them at bay but I haven't tried it yet so can't say if it true or not.

Wasps are another matter and I think you would have to call in 'pest control'.

I hope you get rid of or at least reduce your problem soon.

I think you might be able to get Ant Killer and just spread where there are a whole load, normally like a powdered format.

I ended up with an ant invasion in my hall after my partner had pressure washed the drive. We live in a bungalow so they must have managed to come up from under the floor I used baby talcum powder

Ants just get everywhere

Ohh god I hate ants they are every wear I was sat in the garden the other day and my leg was covered.if you have any holes in concrete or wall try fill it with paste i know it’s hard getting rid of them

There's only one thing that works in our house and that's Staykill flea spray. We discovered it a few years ago when we fostered a kitten while the owners-to-be were on hols. The pretty little thing left us with fleas for weeks after. (and I'm not even a cat person!) This spray was recommended by a Vet who told us it works on ants too. It's not cheap per can but lasts a long time and it works.

This stuff has always worked for me:

You need to put the liquid gel on a smooth surface like an old piece of tile, china or glass.

Replace regularly, especially after rain

• Destroys compete ant colonies without trace
• Worker ants carry the bait back to the nest
• Useful where the nest site is unknown

Get yourself ant powder/killer from poundshops they usually do the trick for me

I spray dilute white vinegar around the places they tend to come in and it works for me..... add a bit of W.U. liquid too..... I try not to kill stuff.....just deter and it does seem to do that. Our present garden has massive ant colonies right close to the house but since doing this...the past 2 years...no more ants in the house.

Deathlac is great never had ants since using it
