Kitchen is crawling with the little blighters, and to make matters worse, they have WINGS too. I can't locate the nest, so any ideas on how to get rid of them, or at least make them pay rent?

Identify each one, name & shame.

If that doesn't work then there are various fairly lethal powders you can get from supoermarkets/£ shops/garden centres and then have fun watching them run!

How bizarre. I had a shopload of the fuckers this week.

Recommend Ant Killer Powder - the stuff I got came from Asda. Very effective, but try not to breathe the powder and fumes in. Be especially careful around food.

I powdered the little fuckers to DEATH, left it half an hour for them to DIE a slow horrible death, came back and hoovered them up. Job done.

Nippon Ant gel always does the trick for me. You just detect where the ants are gaining entry to your house and then during the early evening you lay some gel down. They swarm round the gel and then take it back to the nest and within 2-3 days the queen, nest and all the blighters are dead.

As tempting as it, do not twat the buggers when they are swarming round the gel. The whole idea is long term and you will just be killing those ones to be replaced by another lot. If you don't fancy laying the cleargel along your skirting, carpets etc or you have pets who might try to lick it, you can buy little enclosed pots in which to place the gel.

You can usually get the Nippon gel from any good DIY shop. But of course not one in any way ever connected to BIll Archer!!!!!

I've had a nightmare and have probably killed blue whales and dolphins by now all because of ant powder...:down:

I'd second the Nippon recommendation, works a treat. They hate copper too by the way.

Blimey, how can they tell if you work for the police? Must be more intelligent than I have given them credit for.

I had a whole host of the winged blighters too this week which I murdered with two kettle's full of boiling hot water. Unfortunately this method isn't recommended for an indoor colony unless you want the mrs to murder you by the same method shortly after.

Don't tread on an ant he's done nothing to you
There might come a day
When he's treading on you
Don't tread on an ant you'll end up black and blue
You cut off his head
Legs come looking for you
