I have done that Mersey, on a red ants nest on the lawn, their bites really hurt, but a natural method is much kinder |

Must admit I use the boiling water method. Sprinkle some sugar around where they're seen and then watch where they carry it back to and then kettle full of hot water. |

I use boiling water too but it does destroy the grass if the nest's on the lawn. |

Wish I could use sprays or cinnamon as we have trouble with ants along the damp course line on the back of the house . We have a paved patio ,there with a small expansion gap between the house and the paving so that rain doesn't bridge the damp course We get ants along the gap but we also have Harold the 50 year old tortoise wandering the patio . He can't get out as the patio is enclosed as the garden slopes upwards from the house . Can't use ant powders etc because of the danger to him |

Sorry wasn't ignoring ,have been at the vets from 9.55 till past 12 for Mirabelles daily medication. Was last in a crowded waiting room as they weren't open yesterday . Have to go to the main vets tomorrow and Monday as she has to be medicated daily and it can't be done at home . Been 7 weeks now on a daily basis . |
