Hello

If you read through this thread, you will find many suggestions already posted ( the topic is 4y ears old - Aug 2019)  Ants are part of summer life in Spain so many people post their solutions

Cheers

Hi all,

Has anyone else been infested with the little [pharaoh] ants recently?  We have had hundreds of the little blighters running riot accross our lounge/dinning room floors and around the kitchen.  They are driving us bonkers and having read up on them, the advice seems to be not to spray t...

...hem - as that panics them into moving their nest which means even more nests - but to use liquids/gels to try and kill the nest(s).

We have read past posts on here and online, but nothing so far seems to be destroying the resilient little critters!  In fact, they just seem to ignore whatever we've tried and just walk around it (grrr).  We have used Nippon gel and one from Carrefour, plus ant traps, but still they keep coming! 

If anyone has managed to permanently eradicate them, we would seriously like to know how you did it ?! ... and would welcome any tried and tested advise.

Thanks so much in advance!

Mix toothpaste with washing up liquid and brush where you thingk ants are at

if you mix bicarbonate soda with icing sugar the ants will eat it then explode when the soda reacts with tha ants acid. works a treat
