Lived in our house since 93 and every year the little buggers raid the kitchen, last year they were all over the dishwasher and this year they are trying to get into the fridge, which is on the opposite side of a large kitchen. Tried all the usual kill methods, we seem to be reducing the numbers and size of the ants but they still keep coming. Any help please on how to get rid of my ants.
Find out where they are living or entering from and lay a trail of washing up liquid, it stops thenm dead.
Best to avoid places where people walk as wahing up liquid is slippy.

Lizards ?
Not the giant ones that run the world, little ones with swivelly eyes and scaly skin

Thanks for that I'll get the Fairy liquid out tonight.
It works 😀
They dont like the smell and cant walk through it, and they dont swim well.
So go else where, and it doesnt kill the lot of them so its humane.
Clean your kitchen you skank!
😆
find the hole out side and then get a mate that smokes to put lighter fluid down the hole and so fry ants good fry 😈
ant chalk works well its like a chalk crayon type thing you draw were you dont want them to go and boom they dont go there til you wash it off
Only kidding!
We had ants at ours the summer after we moved in, not loads, but we'd see a few wondering about the carpet in the living room. My wife blamed me for once spilling beer on the carpet, but I'm not convinced it was my fault.
There was a nest outside the front door.
We tried these little white dishes to which you added some clear poison. Apparently they would carry it back to the nest. We just used to get hundreds of dead ants around the dishes, but they'd survive.
Then I bought some powder from wilkos and put tons of that down outside the front door (where I thought the nests were) each week and haven't seen them since (3 years ago now).
I used AntStop Bait Station, which worked very quickly.
Cloves work well. Sprinkle them on the ground as a barrier and the ants won't cross it.

Cloves work well.
Yes - same for us. You can also get clove oil from health food shops - (smells nice - well, kind of clovey...) A couple of drops on some kitchen roll wiped around the access points seems to help.
