Appart from renting an ant-eater from the local zoo...
Does anyone have a recommended brand of ant powder or insect spray or even a home remmedy for getting rid of these pests....
Put a drop onto a small piece of aluminium foil and push it under your fridge or kitchen unit, where the pets can't reach it. Repeat several times around the room.
The ants will find it, and stand in a circle round it taking it up. They will take it back to the nest and your problem will be solved.
You may need to retreat a few times, but it is effective.
