afaik the Nippon gel works because the ants take it back to the nest & feed it to the queen, this prevents the queen laying any more eggs & the colony dies. The point being that you don't really need to know exactly where they are coming in, so long as they are getting to the gel.

Very true, unless the little swines learn that Nippon is bad for them - I've no idea whether ants are really that clever but it sure looked like it by the way they started ignoring it in our house.

Better? Now that'd be a first. If Hemel ants could drive, they'd be croozin around my kitchen in heavily customised Nissan Micras with bass boxes in the boot and implausibly big spoilers.

I quote: "Just plug it in and the state-of-the-art pest repeller uses the wiring in your home to create a massive force-field that drives the pests out without killing them, by interfering with their nervous systems, and prevents new pests from coming back."

Cough! Splutter! A massive force field, eh? A magnetic force field? An electric force field? A weak nuclear force field? A strong nuclear force field? A gravitational force field? May I suggest that a more likely force field is a massive b*ll-sh*t force field.

And if it did work, I'd suggest that anyone with a heart pacemaker kept well clear of it!
