Home Defence Ant Stop! Ant & Ant Nest Killer Granules 300g

Product Information

Boiling water is a well-known ant-killer but, for obvious reasons, this is not a solution for the lawn or close to plant life. I’ve heard that chilli pepper, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic cloves, mint and cinnamon are all effective at deterring ants from crevices, cupboards and other similar places.

Drop and spread this thick gooey concoction on and around the ants’ nest, particularly at the holes.
