For the first time ever, we have ants in the house. I have no idea where they are coming in, or why.
I have seen the occasional ant outside, or had one come in with a sprig of parsley or whatever but now they are appearing in large numbers. I thought this was an upper North Island problem, never had them this far south before!
They are nowhere near food and I thought that is what they liked - sugar and sweet stuff.
I came home the other day to find the bench island swarming with them. Since then, they keep appearing in weird places (so far, thank goodness, nowhere near the pantry).
Squishing them does not work as they seem to be fairly unsquishable. I have sprayed with fly spray but that leaves residue on all surfaces.
Those of you who have had a long standing battle with them - what is the best product to use?
