Hi, does anybody know how to get rid of the really tiny black ants, if I leave anything sugary on my kitchen work top they appear all over it. Thanks

They hate the smell of lemons.

I use the little green ant traps from Mercadona. They work brilliantly. Just pop one in a corner and they find it. They aren't expensive either.

If you want the nuclear option, you can get ORO online, or off the shelf at Consum supermarkets. Very effective for up to a year after a single spray round an affected area.

Gerry J has it....

ORO, available in most supermarkets.

It's quite strong so don't breath it in.

Not that cheap now either but it does what it says on the tin!
