Guest Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 HI we have ants at nursery, (and home) but more so at nursery.... at home we can manage it with ant baits and ant powder, but at nursery we obbviously can't use this method because of the children being around. so any child safe methods to get rid of them?

Guest Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Talcum powder in the holes that they come out of. works wonders I wouldn't have believed it but it does. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Dettox kills them quickly and after a few days of wiping the surfaces at school we haven't had any returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
