How can I get rid of this ant infestation?

The pot lives in my conservatory.

I have used two methods successfully. One is to make a dilute drench of
malathion in water and use it to water the plant. The other is to use
an "ant stake"; I use Grants for Ants.

While successful, neither method is necessarily permanent. The
malathion is very quick, but does not last unless the ants actually have
their home nest in the pot. The "ant stake" method might require a week
or more to yield success, but it works even if the home nest is remote.

Consider:
* Most state mandate that drivers have liability insurance.
* Employers are mandated to have worker's compensation insurance.
* If you live in a flood zone, flood insurance is mandatory.
* If your home has a mortgage, fire insurance is mandatory.

Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad??
