Ants kept getting into my kitchen via a tiny hole at the corner of the window. Liquid Nippon didn’t fix it, Nippon powder just made a horrible mess. DH ended up ripping all the ivy off the outside wall below the window, which the little beggars had been using as a ladder to reach the hole.
My flying ants still haven’t swarmed. Mind you, I only learned yesterday that DH has been quietly Liquid Nippon-ing the nests for the last week or so. I feel a bit sad about it – it’s fascinating to watch them clamber up the tallest blades of grass and launch off into the unknown – even though most of them never get clear of the garden. Their wings fall off the minute they land again, so they only get one shot at dispersal.
