Faq's on; Ants
 

Parts of my garden is overrun with ants. Is there a ‘pet safe’ cure for getting rid of them?

Most ant conrol dusts are pet friendly.

Apply the dust lightly to the soil surface, and don't water or rake it in.

The ants will cross the dust, and it will get carried back to the nesting sites where it will kill off much of the colony.

After a few weeks you may need to treat some areas again.
