help! ants in lounge
Last night I killed one ant on the lounge floor and assumed it was a one off. However, this morning I killed a further 11 on the lounge floor! I had a quick look to see where they're coming from but with little joy.
HELP!

Buy some ant traps from a garden centre. They're small containers that you fill with a sticky sweet substance which they take back to the nest. You can also leave a line of talcum powder on the floor as they hate crossing that.
Oh and keep all food wrapped up and put away. I made the mistake of going away for the weekend in summer leaving a child's lolly on the table...Came back to ants everywhere.

The other 11 were just coming to try and find their lost mate! Tonight you will have 132 ants, 11 each for the 11 you killed this morning and 11 to try and find the one that is still missing from the day before.
