I seem to have an ant problem and its driving me nuts. I can't see where they are coming from and as far as I can tell my room is solid but I keep finding them walking on my floor on my walls even in my bathroom FFS!!! I don't know what to do so I put some ant bait traps in each corner of my room from what I can tell it has no effect. There is no food ion my room and I am a clean person by nature-what gives? I kill them and I sit and wait to see where they appear from which I never do-- I leave the room for a few, come back and bam there they are. They seem to send out soldiers by the pair and when I kill them I left one body behind they actually come to retrieve it!!! Smart little fkers but u think they would get the hint if they are that smart to stay out of my house

Leave a trail of sugar into your neighbours, make it more welcoming next door.

It's the only way to be sure they're gone!

In some seriousness. Try putting some small tubs of fairy liquid in their path. They should take some back to the nest and queeny might die.

White Vinegar/Water in a spray bottle, spray on any surface (round windows, outside door etc) that they could possibly get in - they hate the stuff and won't cross it

Hairspray aerosol is a good 'flame thrower '

Follow one, eventually it will lead you to their nest.

You can buy a tub of sticky sweet goo poison - called a bait station

http://www.coopersdirect.com/pageview.php?page=sho...

The ants will be drawn to the small tub, take some of the sticky goo back to their nest and Hey Presto - no more ants!
