It only mentions mossies in the blurb....not sure if it would be effective on ants.
I seem to get an ant problem every year, so I normally stock up on every evil substance known to man. The best stuff I've found is a combination of the following:
1. Nippon Gel. Get some of those crappy tea lights from Ikea, get the candle bit out and bend in the sides, and stick a bunch of the gunk in it. place at regular intervals all round the affected room.
2. Some sort of spray...I forget the make - it's a red can. Leaves a residue that lasts for a few months, even through rain. I normally go round the outside of the building with this, paying attention to door frames and the like, and cracks!
The outbreak was pretty early this year - normally it comes in May, this one was at the end of March. I only had the gel, and it took a couple of weeks from the first sighting to getting rid of them - but it's very effective.
