After spending already hundreds on antkilla products I found that all ants love to eat borax. Cheap from Bunnings, $8 a kilo. Mix with some water, sugar, honey and flour. Looks like not very healthy product for any ants.


Boric acid (borax) is the active ingredient in most ant killers, the trick is to get them to take enough of it back to the nest so they kill there buddies as well

poured kerosene down the holes, was about 3 litres then lit a match. Fair go trees were catching fire spontaneously 5 days later. but we got rid of the sods.
so funny to see smoke coming out of the sports oval next door.

Some years ago, a bloke that looks like a much younger version of me had a massive problem with ants on the farm.
A strong mix of 4 in 1 sheep dip squirted directly down each ant nest solved that problen in a single application.

On another property, same bloke had the same problem - but couldnt find any 4 in 1 sheepdip in the shed.
A decent shot of aerostart down each of the nests, followed by a no.8 det. was found to be just as effective - and much more funner than messing about with nasty old sheepdip

100% borax. I mix it with cheap tinned tuna in oil. Ants love the stuff and it decimates nests. I use it mainly for the house ants that get in the building cavities of retaining walls and outside of house. The Amdro product referenced is the stuff they use for fire ants. Works well, but only on certain ant types, mainly ones that nest in soil/grass. I use it to control green ants in the lawn. smaller house ants don't seem to like it as much.

Advion gel is probably the best commercial product for house ants I have ever seen. Not cheap, but small amounts destroy nests. They have a roach one too that is great.

It's clearly reluctant to die quietly.
