H2B just looked at the carpet and there is 100s of ants! I hoovered the suckers up whilst he sat there shouting yer don't you be coming in here again =s men haha we have a 15 month old daughter and its the living room so I don't want to put powder down what else can I use ??

Put it around the outside of your house and just keep hoovering is all I can suggest hun.. Then they'll not come in and the ones that are already there will soon be gone! x

You get can get these special powders and any killers safe from your home for about £5 from supermarkets :)

thank you I shall shampoo my carpet I can't stop itching x

put salt round the house plus hot water in there nests xx

I found a hole on the plastic near the back door pored bleach down it and sprayed detol on it so hopefully I killed the little bug'ers mwahaha x

a really good thing to use for keeping bugs away from your home is citronella oil, you can mix it with water and spray round your doors/windows to stop all bugs coming through, INCLUDING SPIDERS!!! they dont like it at all and will stay away, a few drops on the carpets where the ants have been should do it. its safe to use around children and pets too. xx

lol, aww MrsTyson in protective mode :P x

the little circle thing works amazingly! one of my friends just bought one from morrissons for about £2, remember though if your hoovering them up you need to put some porwer down first so they dont just crawl out your hoover x

kimi I know what you mean I am the biggest clean freak going one thing out of place and I go mad I moved all the furniture and theres nothing there gonna shampoo carpet my daughter spills a lot of juice on it plus I've been doing the garden so I'm guessing thats where there coming from =/ got some stuff tody like some traps from £1 shop couldn't find anything in wilkos xx

buy an ant eater :-) x

steal one from the wild lol :p

which ant trappers have you bought - the one thats got glue inside or the ones with poison to take back to the nest????

that will kill the ones that go in it, but wont kill the nest. - you may need to get something to focus on the nest too.

was goin to say hope u got rid of them xxx

Whooo hooo the ants have gone I got that thing that they take to there nest ant powder for outside and spray thanks girls xxx

I used the baits in my kitchen last year when I had millions of them dancing all over the work tops trying to get into my sugar container!!! I haven't had one this year so it deffo kills every ant in the nest. if you want to kill them before you hoover, fly spray kills them quite well lol
