To the original poster use clove oil, that'll drive the buggers away
and keep them out, also garlic sometimes.

Oil of cloves; isn't that what used to be recommended for toothache?
Can you guarantee that it will also drive off ants? In solution I
assume?

A sure fire way to get rid of them is mix a small bottle of clove oil
from the chemists in a large watering can with a rose sprinkler.
Spray the area and watch them go.

This also works for other creatures when applied in a little spray
pump.

Garlic how? crushed? planted?

Whatever works. cloves, powder etc also works for others.

Thanks anyway!

Was a good question, just hate to see the losers getting such good
airplay.
