RosieLuke Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 For a while now we have had ants but disappeared for a bit when we used powder but I can no longer use powder due to having toddler twins and a dog!! I need pest control to come and possibly sort this for me.. Anyone recommend a good pest control? Also how much would it be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartB Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ants are often found in kitchens as they are looking for food, so if you take off a plinth from a cupboard and put some powder under the units the ants can get to it but your twins and dog can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyBoy Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This worked for us and has worked for a few others I have recommended it to since; Bait Station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka2010 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 We popped a couple of those ant bait traps in a secluded corner of the kitchen, these worked fine for us, just be sure there out of sight and curious fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniee Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 agree had similar problem bought a couple of ant baits from wilkinsons i think it was and put them where they had been getting in have had no problems for the last year, try this first as will cost a fortune for pest control and also ants do not do any harm to humans, not like flies, rats or mice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieLuke Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 The ants we have are the pharoah ants which are dangerous as they pass on bad germs and I can't be having this with toddlers around! Also I tried the bait stations they didn't work at all thanks for the replies xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
