Found lots of ants in my lounge tonight at the back end of the room. There are no visable holes outside that I can see. Do they come up through the foundations? And I have indoor pets so what's best to use that is pet friendly but strong enough to kill the little critters?

Brighton - even Hove!

They might end up in your pants.

Use a bait station; the ants go in and take the poison back to kill the nest, but nothing else can get in

Do you have a wooden floor or solid concrete floor?

If it's a wooden floor they could have a nest under the floor boards? Need to get floor boards up and investigate. If it's a solid concrete floor there must be a hole they are getting in somewhere?

It's a bastard isn't it?

Found a load in my pool room last week! Been cleaning the floor regularly with a strong detergent and it seems to be keeping them at bay! X

Lemon juice, cinnamon, peppermint, used coffee grounds, vinegar............are natural deterrents.
