I have ants appearing from beneath my skirting board in the kitchen. There
is the odd 2 or 3 accompanied by some bits of earth that they have dug up,
so can anyone suggest anything to stop the buggers from 'massing' ready
for
a breakout sometime soon? Figured I could seal along there with silicon
sealer (floor is ceramic tile) but don't really want to do that. Is there
anything I can squirt along there that'll kill em and deter any from
venturing in?
TIA
