Ants - solar Lights
The industrious buggers have been making nests in the stakes of my solar
lights. Sorted now - I have cleaned them and put ant powder in them. |

I too am having this issue but they are also inside the lights causing damage. I've lost 4 lights so far to them nesting and packing larva in the electrical parts.
I will try the powder in the steaks today. |

Trouble is if you seal them up so no ants can get in, the water that gets sucked in due to the things heating up and cooling down when wet, can't get out. Ant repellent powder inside works better. |

It's not hard to have gaps that let water out but don't admit ants. Rod as usual. NT Ant repellent powder inside works better. |

Trouble is if you seal them up so no ants can get in, the water that gets sucked in due to the things heating up and cooling down when wet, can't get out. Charles's Law with a fixed volume? Yeah, it’s the temperature change that tends to suck in water if you don’t have a perfect airtight seal and then there is no way for the water to get out if you try to make it ant tight. Ant repellent powder inside works better. |
