How do you kill ants?

[cassa333]

Does anyone know how you get rid of a couple of colonies of RED ants?

Well they are a pastey pink realy. I have been told that black ant killer doesn't work and thatyou need some sort of hormone treatment (ants on hrt lol) but I can't seem to find anything out about it or if I can get it anywhere.

Thanks

I could have helped with the normal ants but red ants I do not know anything about. If affordable (and you should shop around) I should think a 'rat catcher' or whatever they are called nowadays ought to have some type of stuff. They must be able to control them elsewhere so just feel pleased you might not be the only one with that problem.

Sorry cannot be of more help.

pull down your pants and fart on them

There is a product on the market called Deathlac that gets rid of most ants. its effects are fairly long lasting as it leaves a coating that ants carry into the nest.
