Thread: HELP Bullants

pour a bit of diesel down their nest hole

then throw down a match

We don't have any round here, the midges got them all!

You could look in the supermarket or gardening store for stuff called 'Ant Sand' - just sprinkle the stuff all over/around the nest. I have a box branded 'Hortico', another one (used to be?) 'Atomic' brand. Seems to work with most ants.

Dursban or Lorsban spray the nests and squirt some down the holes it is very affective.

There use to be a product on the market called( mellow wash),it was used for fleas and lice.Wait until after dark when the ants are in the nest one cap full undiluted straight down the nest and your ants are gone.you may have to go to a livestock or rural store to find it

Give the poor buggers a sporting chance. Buy an air rifle and take them out one at a time.

I think it was called Malliwash. Used to get it from the vet when we had dogs (before Revolution etc)

I agree with giving them a sprting chance, after chemicals and fuel and match failed on my last infestation, I cleared the area around the nest with the string on the brush cutter, concentrating on all the the openings. (Ants emerging have a .5% chance of not getting strung) then cutting out the nest with a pressure washer.

Again, ANFO.

If you think bullants are a problem, then yes, you do need help.

I poured Methylated Spirits down some ant holes. A few ants came out staggering in small curcles then died. The rest of the tribe never made it out, and the nest has been dormant ever since.

they are only little fellas , we trap them with dingo traps up here .
or you could use " strike out "
or anything with chlorpyrifos in it that is the best chemical for ants
