My flat was full of the littlegits, i bought some ant powder from the pound shop it seems to have worked only seen the odd one or two in the last few days:Banane10:
 
there is a spray you get and the ants wont come back.called nipon i think good stuff
 
I have ants in my back garden, they do not bother me, as long as they dont get in my house:rolleyes:
i love watching em, seeing them lifting leaves and carrying them back to their nest, and seeing them scraping.....lol,,,,really good fun....honest!!:o

Ants don't bother me....but I'm sick to bloody death of killing wasps :mad: I have never had so many in my house before.
 
I had the same problem 3 years ago. My garden is one giant ants' nest and I'll never be able to get rid of them but I found they were in the house too, hundreds of them. I discovered that they were coming in through a tiny gap between the skirting board and the wall in the dining room.

First I put ant powder down but it didn't kill them all off so I laid a little bit of sugar on the carpet next to the skirting board. That brought them out in droves and I just stood by with the Dyson hose and sucked them up. When I'd got all the ones that had appeared I pushed ant powder down the crack with a knife and then used Polyfilla to seal it up. I haven't had any in the house since then. :)
 
i like the little buggers but not in the house someone said try talc so i've scattered it outside the house so far not one tonight think mine are nocternel they only come out at night thanks for the ideas i knew i could relay on all of you;-)
 
for the short remedy talcum powder does the trick as ants and such like insects die due to their pores being blocked by the powder and they suffocate basically...ant powder just has the permethrin (sp) to finish them off if you will...
oh and the woodlice killer powder you may see in the shops is the same stuff thats in the bottles of ant killer powder...same stuff - different labels..

Can't remember ever seeing any ants around my property as yet, however, when I visit my friends in Spain, just love watching them devour the peanut we may have dropped on the patio from the night before .. takes them forever .. quite fascinating, aren't they ?

Went to Rhodes with my friend and the accommodation was less than adequate .. friend went to bed in downstairs 'space' and shouted of me (well, screamed actually) .. ants crawling in a line on the wall above her head .. found the entry, blocked it up and no more ants. Can't exterminate 'em, just stop them from getting in appears to be the best policy ...:D
 
Its only just gone May and we have had lots of flies, we like the windows open all the time because my hubby is bad with his breathing,and he dosent like the areosols,i bought some of those sticky fly papers but they are so ugly, Anybody got any better ideas:idunno:
 
......or use a fly swat, i tend to be very good with those!


do you live near a dump??
sorry i mean rubbish dump!! or a meat firm?
i seen something like that on the telly and they had a load because of the smells in the area,.....just a thought:D

No I don't.... I had livingroom window open and back door. But I was sat at the back door so they weren't coming bast me (( I don't remember running lol)).....but I have still had loads in the house. :mad:
 
you could have a wasp nest in your house somewhere like the attic or in ya wall, i had some a few year back, only found out cuz they kept being in a certain room, thats how i found em, is there anywhere in particular where they are always at?
if you have a queen in there somewhere you will have lots of wasps
