Hi is anyone else having a problem with these tiny black things  I think they are ants, we have never had them till this year, they keep appearing every where. Any good advise on what to use to get rid of them please. Thanks in advance.

Spray is a waste of time; it only kills what you can see. Try insecticide powder, they take it back to the nest and it kills more if not all. You need to use it constantly and everywhere.

I use "ZZ Cooper" not easy to find and very efficient. Look for agriculture supplies.

Hi I use this floor cleaner, it last for 15 days. It keeps ants, spiders, ticks and other things away. I bought it in Consum near the pet stuff. I hope it helps 😎

Thanks I will get some to try. I am getting tiny bites all over and I am assuming they are from these pests even when dat on a chair. Fingers crossed.

I have used CUCHOL REFORZADO for years. It is a powder. I keep it in an old salad cream bottle with holes in the lid and use it like a pepper shaker.

It has never failed yet.

I get it from the little ferreteria in Montesinos in kilo boxes and it lasts ages.
