Hello

I have lots of ant hills appearing all over my lawn. I prefer not to
mow the lawn too short but want to try and get the ants to live
somewhere else like in the flower borders. Also I dont want to put down
ant powder.

any ideas?

Some people say that using a powder like Vim or Ajax sprinkled over the area
will work. Now I'm wondering if such things are still made!

I don't really want to spread chemicals around the place. I'd rather
live with them! I was hoping somebody knew of a natural deterrent or
something that the little loves hate so much they pack their bags and
migrate next door

Ah! You mean you're looking for an ant-idote. ;-)

If you can live with them I don't think they do a great deal of harm and
they're not harmful to humans, though I think they can give a bit of a nip!

In Oz they used camphor/moth balls to get rid of ants. I found the
ants preferable to the stink of camphor.
