Suddenly the garden is overrun with them,at home I use a farm spray and that gets rid of them but at the cottage I would not be happy to use it where other people have access.
The next two sets of guests have children and it would be unpleasant for them to sit on the lawn ,the pathsseem to be alive as well.
I need to find something to kill them quickly that will leave the garden safe in 2 days.

We had a flying ant infestation in our dining room - Nipon did the trick - don't like killing them and usually baby talc does the trick - they move elsewhere - but not this time.
It is better to remain quiet and have one think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt....
The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.

I've used little ant traps before- you put the stuff onto the trap, leave it somewhere close to the ant's route. They sook it up ,take it home and it kills the Queen or whatever the Head Ant is called. It has the advantage of : being discreet
:cats ,dogs and children can't get access to the poison, as it's inside the trap
: It was much less messy than the powder.
I can't recall it's name, but it may have been Nippon? The traps were wee plastic circular trays with lids. It was very efficient.

This looks similar, Bessie.
Hopefully my guests will enjoy the garden again without been bit by ants.
