Hey... You DO want your ants to have "nice breath" when they come to your
picnic :-)

Chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos ... works like magic. I water
it in, personally, coz I don't like to see it hanging / blowing around
on the surface for long, and it seems to work fine. Excellent for
infested pot plants!

When buying, check the label for the active ingredient, because some
brands will charge double for basically the same thing, but different
applications (eg it's also used for lawn beetle control).

Forget the peppermint! Do you want no ants, or ants with nice breath?!

Don't be too hard on black ants though - rumour has it they LOVE termite
larvae.

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...........
