Hi all

has any one got any idea how I can stop ants nesting in my micro
reticulation risers.

Needless to say, every time the retic comes on all the ants get compacted
into the sprayers and let no water past...........

Hi Joanne,

Old recipe is borax and boracic acid with sugar and water. Heat it up on the
stove until it is a clear syrup. Ants take it back to the nest and kill it.
Smeared onto the risers should do the trick. Not anywhere as nasty as the
other stuff available and equally deadly.

Cheers
