ants in kettle....
-
my house's kettle always got this problem of ants entering thru it's spout...
any idea why? and how to get rid of them permanently??
my kettle's purely for boiled water one leh... -
Put it in a shallow plate of water.

ants need water too..
solution, kill the ants...
get a pack of ant-poison from the provision shops.. the poison is slow-acting so the workers bring the stuff to the queen ant and she dies..
after a while, no more ants in the house.. -
get those spout caps
-
really? will we get poisoned too if they walk over our food??Originally posted by the Bear:ants need water too..

if you're afraid if poisoning yourselves, remember.. the poison is so minute, it acts slowly on the ants..
your body will probably get rid of the trace bits of it if they every bring it to your food..
so most importantly, just keep food out of their reach when you're poisoning the little *&$%#%Originally posted by coolger03:ok... will telll my parents... hehe

well put some sugar on ur stove, sure attract the ants for sure, then spray them with baygon or wat spray u have... sure earn a victory against them...

if you never use the kettle for our liquids like coffee or tea or something, but for pure boiling of water, then take care, for maybe ur kettle getting rusted or oxidised, so the ants may be attracted to it?

back in secondary school
my teacher handed us a bottle of something that says mix one cap of that stuff to a pail of water
she told us to handle the ants
we mix and pour the stuff right into the anthole
tada
ants-free school garden
we even trace all the panicking scurrying ants and spray the stuff aka poison at them
i think me and my friends killed enough to equal statistics from genocides -
