Has anybody any suggestions for stopping ants climbing concrete house posts?

duct tape and vaseline.

Ask Luigi if he'll lend you his rape kit

Poison. I think this is the best.

But each to their own.

^ those traps worked exactly once for me. I use the chalk poison around the to of the bin and they piss right off. Tesco has it for 30 baht or so.

and nobody has made a joke about starting a poll ?

Find a medical supply store (near the bigger hospitals and/or medical universities) and get yourself a box of borax powder (บอแรกซ์ ?) (about 70 to 90 baht a kilo).

Mix the powder with something sweet like sugar,syrup or something fatty like bacon grease, add a bit of water and present the gooey stuff to the ants, on flat trays or, if you have other animals that might get to it, in a flat container with a few small holes punched in the lid.

Soon there will be thousands and after they've eaten enough, they will carry the food into their colony to feed the larvae and the queen. Job done!

Google it.

One of these might be beneficial....

Go to your local poison store and buy some Fipronil. Mix it properly and spray it around your house. Works about two months, and also gets rid of ticks and other insects.

cheap and everywhere,

open the package and there will be some sachets in it, open the sachet and in it, will be a microscopic amount of something, grab a half spoon of used cooking oil and add in each sachet, mix it well and eat it, just kidding go look for the trail of the ants, place it on the trail, tiny bits of if, next day they will all be gone, and gone for months, been using it for years, in the farm, at home everyfacking where.
the thing is, them little bastards can get on the roof of your house, on the beams and chances are if they are going up the pillars they are on the roof for sure, also you don't want to go and spray above and around the electrical wiring on the roof and beams, ( i would not), also you don't want to use some powder crap, the wind will blow it. the ants will not eat/carry it to the nest,

it is

Tetrametrin 0.45%
alphacypermetrin 0.028%

in form of very fine powder with a bit of crushed peanuts, the idea of the oil is that the powder will stick to the ( peanut bits) i think it is peanut (have not tasted it)
you will be free of ants, i guarantee you that, or you can red me forever

I hate these ants. I could not do anything with then during one year. Then they just vanished.

Black ants are good. They eat white ants.

Borax. Pile it up and than but a sweet piece in that pile. Gone lickitry split.

**terry57** · 12-11-2015, 08:00 PM

A few months back I had an army of the nasty little bastards invade my kitchen. Really small ones.

They hung around for a few weeks than suddenly went home.

I did not use any deterrent except making sure everything was extra clean.
