Ant powder needs to be layed along a trail where they are going.

If you watch them for 5 minutes you may see them go to their nest.

can any one remember how jasper carrott dealt with his moles!!!!!!!!!!

Shotgun on a rotating chair?

This is what I use, does what it says and I totally recommend it:

Make sure to leave a broad area sprayed inside all exterior doors and I promise you won't have any more trouble from the little feckers

Ant Stop bait stations are amazing.

Little round plastic hubs that instead of killing the ants that come into contact with it they take the stuff inside back to the nest and it kills them all.

Have used these twice for ant problems in the house this year. Put both down at night with ants everywhere, by morning no sign of any ants at all. Brilliant things.

Thank you all...will try everything I have not tried yet. Always makes me smile, the mix of replies when someone is looking for advice on here. Some good folks. Thanks again.

Pack of two bait stations under £3 at Sainsbury's.

Unplug their jukebox

do us all a favour

and what favour is that?

Don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you
There might come a day when he's treading on you
Don't tread on an ant, you'll end up black and blue
You cut off his head, legs come looking for you

So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favor, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, that music's lost its taste
So try another flavor

Magnifying glass and a sunny day should do the trick.

Re ants

I once saw a documentary about an American "whisperer" - not just horses, she could do elephants, mongooses etc.
The last fifteen minutes of the programme was related to ants. I think in her own house. She spoke to the and listened to what they had to say.

Its worth a try.

she spoke to them (ants)
It has to be better than those chemical poisons. Give it a go, good luck, and don't be afraid to listen to their concerns.

Best wishes

What did they say?

In the docuentary? To be honest, they completely ignored the woman and threats escalated.
The whisperer diagnosed that a horse was bored and the elephant had a sore foot (both true, but that was apparent to the casual viewr)
She spoke to the ants
They did what ants do
She threw poison on them

Serves them right I guess.

bit judgmental?

I always poison people who ignore me.

sticks and stones

why are you so upset Joel?

hah, I am not upset.

In fact I am quite happy that I am conversing with you, you are one of the good guys on here!

The first time we had some ant action here, I was telling my sister and she said "do you put nets down"?
