WrathHelp Req'd: Suggestions please to rid one's house of ants?
We have a stream of ants coming through the living room window at the moment when it is open and have taken so far to squashing the buggers one by one - I can't see a nest so presume they are coming from within the brickwork or window fitting - any suggestions for getting rid of them or even just keeping them out of the house?
PS I can't leave the house at present so can't obtain the usual pest control substances etc.
