I'm all for the insect world and I donate to British conservationists but no ants on my patch.

You were doing so well to you posted this! Telling us how important and non offensive they are.Then you revert to suggesting barbarism just because they have the nerve to enter your house!
I was on holiday once,when i found the apartment to have an ant problem (i hate using that word infestation) I sucked a boiled sweet till it was gooey then put it near the door. In the morning it was covered in ants. I picked it up with a spoon and put it outside. The ants were more interested in the sweet than "infesting" the apartment. No need for mass destruction, just a bit of common sense used in redirecting them.

What exactly is the problem with ants in the garden? Serious question.

The same with snails. They're only after a bit of food. Pick them off and "redirect" them somewhere else. The sicko next door brags about crushing them. What a self-gratification artist he is!

"Ants often appear as numerous unwelcome guests and can be extremely annoying. - Neudorffs Ant Killer Granules are particularly effective............."
"EXTREMELY ANNOYING"?!! I find motorists extremely annoying when they cut me up,clog the roads and drive their cars just for the sake of it! Are there any granules available to give to them?

I leave my garden ants alone. I only do minor stuff if they begin to make trails into the house - just a bit of discouragement. Fascinating creatures are ants.

Unless they are coming in the house, then leave be. You can stop them coming in by using the powder at the edges of walls. We have a big nest about 6ft from the front door and haven't had any issues. It's fascinating with the flying ants leave.
Ant's are just about everywhere, and you're fighting a losing battle, and filling your garden with pesticides. Do you have any pets ?
Ant powder kills all sorts of insects as well. It's effective on wasps nests if they are within a wall - keep puffing the powder at the hole in the wall.

The lyrics to Ant Music are so profound!
Don't tread on an ant he's done nothing to you
There might come a day
When he's treading on you
Don't tread on an ant you'll end up black and blue
You cut off his head
Legs come looking for you
Animal(and insect)sadists beware!!

Providing them with an ant heater will just make them even more cosy in their nest.

Day care centre uses the land and we don't want kids bitten. They can build nests else where. It's not like we're fox hunting here.
