I cannot ant proof my house as it is wooden and has lots of nooks and knots that ants can get into

Graham,
we have had a few ant invasions in recent months. The most effective solution so far has been ant-baits called ANT-RID. They are sold in packs of 4 and each is placed near the path the ants are taking. They find it quickly and in every case so far, the ants have disappeared after about 24 hours. I was impressed. My wife buys them from Woolworths.

Peter
