Thread: WASPS it doesn't take them long

Whilst on the subject of pest control

I have a large ant nest behind the weatherboards, they come into the bath room for search of water. I've tried ANT rid, all that does is kill them on contact before they get back to the nest. Found a circle of them in the shower base the other day, around a puddle of water.
Apart from ripping the weather boards off to destroy the nest, how else can you kill them?

Ok on a farm away from evey thing, not to sure on town though. The neighbours might not like it.

You could also just go to the local produce store and get some "Farm Shield" Mix as per instructions and pour on. It also does spiders white ants and a whoe lot of other nasties.

I like that idea , but probably a bit close to the house even though the ants in question are in a rural setting. Will have a look for the Farm Shield.
