My Aussie friends use talc too. I tried that in my kitchen and it didn't stop the winter ants here in UK.
I use ant powder around the back door and under sink and at last they've all gone.

dreamfish is an unknown quantity at this point

Re: Home invasion

also try a margerine tub lid, smear it with honey leave out in the garden somewhere. the theory is they are attracted to the honey and get stuck in it. could also try it in a jam jar.

And to think, when Christmas shopping today, hubby was going to buy our son an ant farm? I pointed out that we wouldn't be able to export it so what was the point? It was duly returned to space on shelf!
