Vaseline, ant can't cross it..........

You must be joking. Are Les &/or Claire supposed to smear all their
paths, containers/pots, lawns and flower-beds with vaseline?

Besides, vaseline is only expensive lubricating grease, so if you must
have a slippery garden, why not just use axle grease at a tenth of the
price?
