Does anything eat ants - apart from an ant-eater? Our entire garden
seems
to
be built on a series of ants' nests. They are invading my planters and
now
the bird table. I don't want to use poison so I'm hoping for a
predetor -
birds? - hedgehogs? - foxes? Any ideas?


You need to keep it wet where their nests are. Otherwise poison is your
only
hope.
Whats wrong with poison? You can buy little self-contained units that
ensure
only ants are affected.

Keeping it wet is impossible - we have a patio and rockery which both have
extreme draining. I don't want to use poison because the ants are
everywhere - I wouldn't mind them if we had a manageable number...
