955i Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 We have about 3 large ant nests that have appeared in our lawn, resulting in the grass dying off in big patches. Anyone got any ideas on the best way to kill them off (bearing in mind our little lad plays out there) Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Get some NIPON. Place a drop or two near the nest sites, and the worker ants will carry the poison back to the nest/s. Worked well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 termites? worked on a bus life! Conductor an all Asking on here is bound to get you some daft replies, so here is mine. Get your best hoover out, and stick the nozzle over the hole. Then again, you might want to hang them all. Or better still, catch them, and hand them over to the parents of the greenfly they ate. As a serious reply, what about a liquid ant killer? Funnel in one hole, and mix some ant powder in water. Down the hatch and wait and see.

Cranfield Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ant killer powder, Nippon or a generic version, they all work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hiya, I've tried it and it works...Self Raising Flour...sprinkle round where they are, they eat it and take it back to the nest for their mates to eat ...it swells up inside them, and does them in... Got that from a mate in the pest control game... MUCH cheaper than all those Ant powders.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 If you really want to get rid of them and not have them wanting to come back you might like to try this. It works for rats so i am sure that it will work for ants: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 If you have a nest of antis on your land I would suggest soap, water, a comb, some raw meat and the situations vacant section from the local paper. That will get them shifted pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
