I cannot locate their stronghold. It could be anywhere nearby, I suspect they are inside the walls.
Sometimes there isn't much evidence of where the nest is. They only need a crack in the pavement in order to dig down and make a nest. On packed earth look for a small hole. If they are inside your brickwork the gel will sort them out though.

I bought a can of marrowfat peas by mistake the other week instead of my usual garden peas.

Won't be making that mistake again - the bloody things have been doing some really interesting things to my digestive system - and not in a good way. I thought I'd pulled something in my groin area, but no, the pain is being all bloated, gassy and horribly bunged. :sad:

Finely tuned?

That's the term Mrs MY uses.

Me neither. Last summer when they were at their height I left some very sticky iced buns that I'd picked up on a long ride that were going out of date that day (just in case I needed a sugar hit before i got home) on the kitchen windowsill overnight.

Made the mistake of a slight lie in the next morning, woke up to screeches from my other half. Hundreds of ants were crawling all over the windowsill, worktop, sink, in lines up the outside wall. Five bleach cleans later, they were still reappearing, was a bloody nightmare! Took an age to stop them coming in. I tried to follow the retreating line but they seemed to be going to lots of different places. Only the onset of autumn and winter saved me from daily harangues from Mrs T :laugh:

Why do people think that I believe bull sh@t when there answer is pure bull :sad:
Possibly because they judge others by their own slack standards:whistle:

I have in the past used a product called Deathlac Spray on surface and it forms a lacquer surface which kills on contact.I don’t know if it’s still on sale.
