Cant do that, her giant ants would probably eat them, thus defeating the purpose...

yeah but they'd be gone and hers would be full up - seems like a good deal to me.

No, like a deterrant. Something they don't like the smell of. We had something in London to deter the mosquitos.

spugsy, get rid of them as soon as possible or you will get millions of the buggers...spray and ant powder as others have said is the way to go...they spray outside our place every few weeks as well to keep them under control...

We used to have hundreds of em in our Dubai villa...I was all for being kind until they got on my nicely cleaned work tops and made a nest in a loaf of bread........Ewwwww! Clean your house top to bottom and put everything in plastic seal proof containers!
THEN!

PIFF PAFF......em! and when they come back PIFF PAFF em again then AGAIN then AGAIN!! PIFF PAFF PIFF PAFF PIFF PAFF!!
But remember to remove pets and kids from the room first and open a window it can be quite strong!
Try to find where they come in and block it up although they then come in another place! They get smaller each time they come back after a piff paff!

We live in a high rise in Abu Dhabi and while i was away my cat puked up! Mr Star said there was ants crawling and eating the sick....Nasty things! Not sure how they got up that far???
