Ant Killer

[perky]

We've had to resort to keeping all open food stuffs in ziplocks. And wipe the surfaces regularly. Dishes they don't seem to bother with as long as they are in the sink and there's enough water around (I'm not doing them more than once a day come hell or high water). When we slip up and there's an army of them going to the bin or something, we spray them. Just have to live with the buggers I guess...

I have the little suckers at my house in Lao. I have had them since day 1 (6 mths ago I moved in).

I have tried everything (and I mean EVERTHING) even some H/Duty chemicals from the mine that would make Apocalypse Now look like Fire Cracker Night.

Anything I did seemed like a short term fix. It was, as there is no doubt farking trillions of the little suckers

I did a couple of things to reduce the visits inside the house:

I got the domestic help to clean the house 100% Inside and Outside. I found that they are actually attracted to the smell of the normal Household Spay and Wipe cleaning products, BUT they seem to HATE the smell of normal Window Cleaner?

After the staff cleaned the house they wiped Window Cleaner on all the bench tops and cupboards and doors.

The fiancé’s grandma told me that we have to "live with the ants and not try to kill all the ants all them time". She told us to put a small amount of Honey/Jam etc outside in the far corner of the yard (she does this) this way they come no where near the house.

Well FARK ME…it has seemed to work (about 70-80% less ants inside the house).

Every now and then I mix a few regular Ant chemicals into the honey just to keep the numbers in check and hopefully in my favor

Heh Dman, I'm the lucky bloke next door and this morning it paid off, I was on my balcony supping my first cup of brew for the day, when as if by magic a little perfect, tasty, fresh, Jammy Dodger Biscuit, wafted passed me and tantlisingly weaved a crocked path right to my cup, as if sent as a gift from god, I picked up that little delicious jammy dodger between my forefinger and thumb, and tossed it and two big screaming ants straight on the fire.

Fecking hate Jammy Dodger's!!!!

Tried stand and deliver song but all the locals were going down like 9 pins thought initially it was my bad singing voice but eventually realised that there was no way they were parting with their hard earned bahties!!!

Alternative that quite often works is to throw your underwear out onto the lawn as this seems to distract them and they tend to congrgate in all the more soiled grolllies, something to do with Einsteins theory of ants in ya pants I think!

I run a pest control company in pattaya and we market a non toxic pest control spray which kills all cold blooded insects and works for up to one month or more has no smell and does not stain you can order it from me mailorder in 400 ml sprays or 5 litre containers,i supply molly malones in bangkok and not sure if they have for phuket or not if they have maybe can get from them anyway let me know
