Ants everywhere, help!

A friend of mine e-mailed me from America to say that she had a list of various uses for Bounce, the sheets you place in your tumble dryer. Although I haven't as yet tried this, apparently if you place a sheet near ants they will disappear!

Sheen flame gun has a similar effect...Sorry to the ant lovers...Jim

Probably more expensive to use though?  ::)

ok - so i said that i quite like ants.

They heard me and they are now taking over my kitchen! they keep getting into the dishwasher and I have to fish them all out before I can switch the d**n thing on! OH not amused - he left the top off the marmite jar whilst he had a phone conversation and he now has marmite with added ant protein!

I've also got major ants nests at the allotment, they nest near the edge of my beds and make me do a silly dance when they get dugup (so they don't crawl into my wellies). Apart from that they seem to churn up the soil pretty well; I did blame them for eating crops for a while but watching them more closely it appears they are more interested in live creatures below the soil. I do expose their eggs if I hit a nest, otherwise I let them be.
