Ants

[kwicky]

We are suddenly being deluged with ants in the kitchen especially on the worktops. Is there a reason for this sudden influx and also a way to treat them at source?

[lafrancaise]

There's no real reason ants decide to invade certain parts of the house rather than others but they do prefer smooth surfaces. You can buy some ant poison usually bought in a tube. A drop or two in their path is enough. They take this back to the 'nest' and the whole lot are wiped out in a day.
Hope this helps

You can buy some little round things (sorry can't remember what they are called) that you snap a bit off, stick it round where the ants are and they are gone in a couple of days. Have a look in your local hardware shop or supermarket. They come in a pack of two.
