I've tried it but never known it to stop the problem.
Is there something I should know, other than what's on the tube?


Yes. They've built an immunity to it, or so it seems to me. But in fact,
ants are not a problem. They might give the more squeamish a time or two
but they do no harm.


Well mostly, but ants did once build a nest in one of my (indoor) plant
pots, pushing the incumbent several inches upward in the process!

Made them fairly easy to evict though :-)
