For some reason we live in ant heaven. I’m not so bothered when they turn the lawn into a re-creation of the Somme on a wet day, but they seem to be tunnelling to Australia underneath the block paved drive.
So far it’s just the edges that are totally without sand or whatever they fill the gaps with, but lots of the bricks in the middle now make knocking noises when I ride over them.
I realise that taking on a million+ ants is unlikely to end in a victory for me, so what about jet washing and re-sanding to at least slow the buggers down a bit? Or would that just make it worse, giving them more sand to play with?
Is it a case of living with it…..? Although that seems like it could turn out to be expensive in the long run.
Any tips from experienced ant fighters, or anyone in general, appreciated.
