Ant Killer
Anyone know any good ant bait to get rid of these ants, i don't know where they are coming from so i need some type of bait so they take it back to the rest of them in the nest and kill them all.
Anyone know any good ones on amazon or ebay somethin like that?

Re: Ant Killer
Contact ur local Environmental Health they will advise u.
I had a Case Bearing Clothes moth infestation after a moth died under a table in the living room and laid larvae. I Contacted Rentakill and they wanted £40 + P&P for stuff. I contacted Environmental Health and they advised me to use ant powder around edges of carpet where they breed and to hoover 3 times a day for a month and touch wood got rid of it. I got Ant Powder for £1 in Poundland.

Excellent, no mess no fuss and they really do work.

You may be able to pick them up at Homebase or B&Q cheaper though.

Re: Ant Killer
This is the only thing that could cause concern as if you do not know where the nest is you are buggered?

The traps should be placed as close to the ant nest or run as possible. Do not disturb feeding ants as it is essential that they take the bait back to the nest

Thats why i use the Nippon gel ,the ants feed on it and carry it back to the nest for the others to feed on ,it is facinating watching a long line of the little buggers marching to their doom

Re: Ant Killer
I really do not understand why you want to kill the ants?
Why not just put whatever is attracting the ants away in a sealed container and keep work surfaces clear of anything sticky or sweet? As soon as they cannot get a source of food from your home they will BO to someone else's larder.
