What type of ants are they? I know that grond clove keeps ant away. but I suppose only if you can put it where you know they are coming in.

you could use the little traps and place them places hayden can’t get (we have these) and also windex can work on them as well… they supposedly hate it so i spray areas i think they seem to be coming in. I can’t keep up on vaccuming, but i sweep the wood after every meal. Ants drive me mad.

I wish Iknew of something. Everything that I know of to kill off pests, kills babies and animals too.

I think they sell some kind of chalk for that. If I find it I’ll let you know. Good luck with the ants.

When my mum had ants she used ant killer from the garden centre, it was powder stuff you put at the point of entry.

This may not be helpful if you have many points of entry.

As for the baby, you could always cordon the offending area off until the ant killer has worked?

I had a similar problem during our summer and I used internal Ant Rid. I presume you can get in your part of the world.

I put it out the reach of animals and children and I think it is borax based. It seemed to work, until the next time.
