Hi,

Mild weather has brought ants back to our kitchen.Â* This has been an

You probably can't. Which sort are they external garden ants coming in
or other indoor ones like pharaoh ants?

If you tidy up the kitchen so that there are no easy sources of food the
ants will not bother you. It can be surprising where they can get. A
"sealed" glass jar of candied peel proved not to be as sealed as we
thought and some enterprising ant scout found the weak spot.

One summer evening there was a trail of ants from the door to the jar
and back again.

Have built up a nice collection of powders and liquids over the
years...never entirely effective and I'd like to open up a new "front"
in the war.

I see on Amazon ultrasonic pest repellers (search for B078KNRF15) which
claim to work against ants.

I am dubious.Â* Anybody got experience of ultrasonics for ant/insect
repelling?Â* Does it work?

I can't see it working - at least not at sound pressure levels that
won't permanently damage human hearing.
