at a loss

Really am sorry to hear that, NP. All the best with shifting them  

Exactly right Bear, as in mine & NP's case. They're right round & maybe under the plants.

I've just found a new way to find them .. left my t shirt on the floor this afternoon, hot work earthing spuds and when I put it back on it was crawling with them  :shock:

water with armilatox will be dead in mins [allmost]

ok whats that stuff  :oops:

Have to admit I did have a problem with ants at my other residence...they ate through the cement and entered the cavity wall and though the wall next to the coal fire chimney.

Now that was a pain. Had flying ants in the living room...yuck. I had to re point the bottom of the house, cement up the air vent in the cavity wall nippon powder and gell around the skirting boards etc.

They were nesting in a brick built raised planter I had made by the front door. In the end I had to remove the soil out of it and knock it down. Tried everything first, but nothing worked permanently.

They can be a right pain in the rear...literally for someone like me who has to garden sitting down....Ouch.
