Excellent additional idea that! I have an almost new Jeyes in the shed.
Will scuttle out forthwith and de-house the little blighters. Thanks Mich.

We have just found a large mound of what looked like discarded seed
under
our bird seed feeders. On closer examination with a stick, the seeds
are
covering a huge anthill/nest.

Can anyone suggest the best way of killing this little lot off/removing
them - if we try to dig to remove, presumably the ants will swarm and
nip.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Just brush the soil off and teh birs will help get rid of quitea few.
Getting rid of them in a lawn is difficult , though one thing you can try
is
continually flooding the area, ants dont scuba dive.

Quite similar but I add jayes fluid . I like to clean and disinfect the
soil
on such occassions g

I find boiling a kettle and pouring the hot water out on the patch helps
too. The birds will re seed the patch for you afterwards.
