If I find an ant wandering around looking lost I pick it up, put it in a silk-lined matchbox and drive it an hour into the North Yorkshire Moors before releasing it by a friendly colony of sexy female ant-chicks near an oasis of free beer and sticky ice-lollies.

That was when he was 5 years old.....surely he couldn't drive at that age ???
actually huggy did you mean your ants were patois? are they black and going around saying yeah man?
Ants are very interesting.....give them a food source and watch them beaver away
Probably best to put up a sign saying "I am watching my ants"
....just so neighbours don't think you have lost it.

Boiling water can't work - only against the few you see.. not boiling once on concrete or absorbed by soil.. large numbers left in tunnels and chambers Shirley!
Hate these little *******s with a vengeance as can be overrun with them due to the sandy soil here, which they like.
To understand the depth (literally)of the problem, and the resourcefulness of them, you need to check this out.....

Whack the concrete with a broom handle, they'll come out to investigate.
Boil them.
Or watch where they go for their food source, then get some ant powder and lay it along the trail.

they do get everywhere. I even noticed a few walking around on the back of a seat on the underground yesterday - Piccadilly Line to be precise.
The thing is with these little ***s, from where do they get their energy?
They move at ridiculous speed, and no obstacle is too much as, for instance, they can run up the leg of a garden table,
then underneath the top to end up on top of the table!
If you disturb an area with eggs, they go frantic to carry the eggs to safety.

we get a lot of them coming into the house, the other year there ended up being hundreds forming their transport line through our kitchen and counter tops. if you stick some bread/crips dipped in ant-killahhh they'll take it back to their nest.
if you catch the first ones as they appear somewhere, killing the first few will make the rest of them avoid the area.

tbh ants are easy to get rid of. but i cba saying how cos nobody ever believes me. they just wate a fortune on napalm gas or spend all year doing time consuming things.
they dont wanna know that all you need to do is buy summat that costs 3 quid and you just leave it there. people dont like easy solutions.
