You can nuke them with ant powder, but they'll be back!!!

They are that desperate to get into our house that they are systematically eating through the mortar! Thank god its rental :)

Love em or hate them, they are here to stay.

best to have the little black buggers as they keep their white counterparts at bay ;)

Sugar ants

Seriously, the best thing to do is track them back to where they are coming from (window sill in my case) and put a tiny barrier of BABY POWDER around there. The ants are scared to cross the line of powder (seriously).

Only works with baby powder apparently.

Another thing is half cinamon, half sugar...the ants cant digest it and when they feed it to the queen she dies (havent tried this one yet as the baby powder trick is perfect).

Never mind the little ants - it's these ones you have to look out for. My little girl was bitten by one that managed to get in the house and she was screaming with the pain.

Come on, the poor little things only want to get out of the rain. You will find that they move to higher and dryer areas just before inclement weather.

Keep finding the little sods on my spotlessly clean dining table. No trail, no nothing, just half a dozen of the buggers running around on black granite :mad: God knows how many I've killed in the past month or so.

We had a Redback nest in our loft not so long ago and when I asked the guy who sprayed it how to get rid of the ants his reply was "leave Australia" ... :ohmy:

Re: little tiny ants.....
 

Only sometimes :eek:

You can have bait traps left for them which works for a while. These tiny brown ants are a tropical lot and they get everywhere. We had one lot extensively nest inside plastic zip bags still in the box. Ditched the box and they moved back into the replacement box.:eek:

They also like to nest in the cordless phone base.

Wev'e got black ants at the patio area and small brown ants around the back of the house where the washing lines are,, whats that all about? Dont they mix together? :)

Re: little tiny ants.....
 

Oh, I was about to ask why you got those ants in Australia, then I saw you were in Queensland!!

My advice - move south!!:D:D

I had those bastards in India and Korea, and they got into ALL food. Once or twice even into closed plastic food storage containers. I didn't realise you could get them in Australia.

Re: little tiny ants.....
 

Not gonna move south if it means we get flys instead.....I'll take the ants any day!!
