Recently we had an invasion of ants.....the little b#st#rds were everywhere.....my friend YouTube give me the idea to use icing sugar and bicarbonate of soda to make a powder solution that the ants eat and take back to the nest......then said ants share good and everyone explodes.....went back till Ireland for a few days leaving small mounds of a coke like powder over the house.

I returned on Saturday to find no ants in house or surrounding paths.....result......:D

Interesting - bicarb is such a useful substance. The explanation of how that works is here:-

Some people will call you inhumane. I will just settle for genius!

You can also use talc around entry points as this makes their joints dislocate so they won't cross a talc line our if you find the nest take the bicarbonate and pour it to an ant hole, I found that a funnel is good for this and then add vinegar......this causes a volcano effect ....
