Sorry to hear about this Jac, also try and stop them coming in if you can, they must be having access somewhere.

Oh no Jac. How awful. I think an exterminator is definitely called for - get rid of the little sods once and for all!!!

Try not to let it get you down, hun.

Hugs to you

Charlie, you know about all the things that have gone wrong here. This is just "another" thing to go wrong. I really do feel like moving though. We are getting an expert in.

Re: Ants have me in tears!!!


Seems you're not the only one with this problem Jac - look at this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....html?t=207306
The borax solution looks hopeful - but I don't know whether you can use it safely around pets (especially young ones)

That's true Charlie. It's just that we only get one thing sorted then we find another.

Windex window cleaning spray seems to be a favourite 'home remedy' too. Don't know where you find it? Supermarket? Garden centre? Hardware shop?
