Theres probably no ants in your van because you burnt it down!!!

Hahahahaha

Good work Doug I'll make sure I get some for the van just in case.

Therefore,

RP = repels pests?

And make sure you stick the tube in the slot.

Not sure about the seven.

Kind regards

Doug, over the years I've tried all sorts on the ants here. The best thing turned out to be pouring boiling water into their nests. Sadly they have more nests than I can carry hot water to :((
Now they have gotten into my electricity supply pole...not good. I'd have to use a lot of RP7 on that one.
Good luck with them.

All of the above remedies kills them, but you never gets rid of them, Thermidor only solution

Hey Hairy: Your not trying to tell people that flame came out of a RP7 can are you. I know you better. It is either the potatoe gun the other night or prawns, chilly sauce, and bourbon out of a
different orriforce.

What sort of biscuit was it??? Michael

Hey Doug its the wet season get used to it. lol.

Cheers Steve.

As a longer term thing for ant infestations in houses ( or long term van stays ) get some powered borax and mix it with something sweet.

I usually use corn syrup and a little fruit cordial if they are meat ants mix in some mince. just a small amount of borax in the mix so they cannot taste it usually about a 1/20 ratio (but that is a very rough guide) is enough, if they do not eat it add more sweet stuff or see what they are feeding on and add some of that to the mix.

This will kill the nest in a few days, be careful where you place it if you have pets or children !!

Plan B is mix Crawley Crunch from a supermarket with water about 1/10 add a few drops of detergent and pour on the nest, a quick way of solving the problem if you can locate the nest and flood the area.

G'day Doug & Dusty,
I take a slightly different approach to the problem, but with your solution,,,, I really don't think "Cook " will appreciate the RP7 in her undergarments as she always have "Ants in Pants"
Be good mate
Cheers
Steve

We live on a small rural property and those little ants nest everywhere at this time of the year. We used to get them nesting in the canvas folds in the old van all the time. When we got the new van we bought a few of those little ant bait stations. About 2" square can be stuck on anywhere. 1 in the boot, three more spread around the cupboards, have not had a nest in the new van at all. Haven't even seen an ant in there. Use them in the house too. They work well !

We train our big ones to chase the little ones away.
