Ants getting into the house! (merged threads)

I had a problem with ants last year and they have came back again this year.

I bought Raid ant bait traps (£3.98 from tesco for two), put them down where I seen the ants and within a few days the place has been ant free.

Would highly recommend these as I tried everything last year and nothing worked as well.

Yeah thanks for the advice!!

Like many people I don't look in the other forums and thought this was the best place to put it.

Anyway back to the Ants!

Thanks to all that have advised and mini reviews etc.
I don't have a Tesco nearby so will try Wilkos tomorrow and post my results

A quick update, it's a few days later and the Nippon gel stuff seems to be doing the trick. Here's hoping it will get rid of them completely

I had a problem with ants a couple of years back - the flying ones - it make me all itchy just thinking about it. They had a nest in the cavity in the wall in my kitchen. I tried all sorts of stuff - the nippon was good for a little while but nothing stopped them coming back so I had to get pest control in. I used NBC they are great, sorted it really quickly and left no mess at all I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants rid of ants straight away no fuss. They have a website at http://www.nbcbirdandpest.co.uk I filled in the enquiry form and they got back to me so didnt even cost me a phone call. It does cost more than the DIY alternatives but the value for money in getting your home back is well worth it!!

Tried boiling water?

Hi,

Yes we have tried boiling water, it worked for a day but they came back :-(

Have you tried Nippon? It can be bought in both powdered form or liquid.

Or you could try Raid. Tesco, Sainsbury & Waitrose sell this for £2.65.



There's a thread here about getting rid of ants if it helps any.
