We had an ant problem in our bedroom last week which saw ants coming from 2 or 3 different nests zooming in on Julian's milk-stained linen. They were even all over a rosary we placed on our bed - talk about "holy ants". We slept in the living room for 2 nights.
The solution? We bought a small sachet of ant poison from the mini market and we sprinkled the granules (they looked like biscuit crumbs) at three or four locations where the ants were running around.
The ants seem to love those granules. They don't die immediately though. Something happens to them after half a day or so. The ants never returned to finish off the rest of the crumbs.

By the way, Lucia blogged about Malam Bangsa Malaysia which will be held in Penang. For details, please visit this link.

I use the King Kong Ant bait. Works like a charm.. by the way, I have decided to tag you.
where to buy the king kong ant bait and the ant poison? please be specific on the shop name and where it located...as i want to get one too..
We got it from the Heng Lee mini market in Island Glades. We just asked for "ang hia hoon" (ant powder) - those in small (silver) sachets.
Thanks Bart. But can you tell me which part of the island glades is heng lee mini market located? Very sorry, i am not from island glades but stay near USM...
You can get the ant poison from most mini markets actually. But to get to Heng Lee, travel along Jln Yeap Chor Ee from USM heading towards Greenlane. After the Bukit Gelugor primary school there's a traffic light. Go straight and take the first turning on your left. You'll then come to a row of shops facing the Hamid Khan school field. Heng Lee is one of the shops facing the field.
Remember to remove the ant granules after you're done withem ok? Once Julian starts crawling, he'll pop anything teeny-weeny into his mouth!
My mom-in-law uses an ant liquid painted in corners of the house. It's supposed found in kedai runcit...we're looking for it now. Will let you know once found!
I'm interested to check out this King Kong Ant Bait GT mentions above...
Thanks Bart for the direction. :) will check it out.
I used this ant-poison all the time and it is very effective.
