Halibut Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 They don't like peppermint, coffee or cinnamon. But they're quite partial to nutmeg, parmesan and gin. Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pour a jugful of petrol over each one - that kills them, and then it evaporates and doesn't damage the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torin8 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Perhaps the best thing to do first is to try water. Ants don't like being drowned out... you just have to do it everyday for a week or so. They will soon move on. Then get some compost down and then some grass seed and the bald spots will soon go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
