Fuckers are annoying.

Do you have a powerful hose? Because power hosing will eliminate tiny, just-starting nests very easily.

It can even destroy long established nests.

The problem is that when those collapse they leave large holes.

 Bees? There is one and only one way to solve this.

 As for the ants my family just flooded the holes they came from with soapy water and filled it with foam. Then we got some poisons made to stay on the ground and lines the outsides of our doors and windows with it. I suppose we got the ants before they settled down because a month or two later nothing could be seen.

 Although three months later the spider population increased in size and individual size. After an afternoon with a vacuum I will never touch anymore in fear of releasing the Pandora's box that is the dust container that problem was solved.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I told you the ants were preventing Arachnophobia!

Keep your nail gun with you at all times.

We battle ants every year.  The little ant poison thingies + spraying raid along every place where they could conceivably be slipping in seems to work fairly well.

seriously, you don't need poison for ants. The dry rice trick really works.
