OT Ants

I dug over the flower beds last week. The next day I found a few ants on the bathroom window ledge. We live in a bungalow, the kitchen is on the same wall as the bathroom. Killed the bathroom ants, they have not come back there. Since then we have been finding a few ants in the kitchen, always in the same place but not everyday. For a few nights I've left a plate out with sugar on it. This to attract the ants and lead me to where they are coming from. Not an ant in sight! We are very clean, but crumbs in a kitchen are unavoidable. I've just given the ant area a very good bleaching. The weather here has been very mild, but it has pissed it down every day. I've read that ants do not like getting wet and will go into a house when it rains for 40 days and 40 nights. The main question is: has anybody else had an ant problem?

I wait until they've all swarmed, then hoover them up along with some ant killer. Then find the source hole and dust that with powder.

If you can get the queens, that's a good thing too.

We had them coming up from under the hall floor last year. (Wooden floor on battens on a concrete raft). Hopefully they won't be coming back, since I poured enough toxic chemicals under there to cause another Love Canal.
