In the last 2 weeks we've had ~15 ants in the living room (they don't eat
much). They usually end up on my side table prolly trying to nick my coffee.
Anyone found anything that really works? I've put a few drops of Nippon
around but I think someone told'em about Nippon

Yep - that time of year again - we have already spotted a couple in the
kitchen. We use any of the ant sprays you can get in the garden centres and
supermarkets, all seem to work. I go round all the entrance doors outside
and spay under the threshold and up the side for about a foot. Also under
the downstair window cills and around any pipework coming out of the house
(drainpipes etc etc). The inside I spray all along the skirting boards where
it meets the floor and across the door thresholds of any infected rooms.
That always seems to stop the blighters!

Spaying ants? That must be fiddly work.


The spill chucker said it was ok.

Only because it wouldn't have to perform the surgery.

As a small boy on sunny days I used to use the sun and a large

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

Wy not train them to do something useful?

Little scuttly things that are currently supplementing the protein
intake of the birds in my garden.
