Ant problem

[WaynelleUK09]

Recently moved into a ground floor flat a few weeks ago and all has been good, but this morning I woke up to see loads of ants crawling around the carpet. I had a look round and can see where they are all coming seems to be a whole between the skirting board and the carpet I tried blocking it with toilet roll and it did seem to stop them for a couple of hours but now when I've come to bed they is loads of them again!

Now what is the best way to get rid of them the place us tidy with no food lying about, is it worth tellin the landlord? Cheers

Well the mrs has come in with a bottle of ant spray cos the powder says not to use on carpet, we have sprayed the gaps like it says on the bottle and it has worked for now but if they come back we will get on to the landlord.

Well there is still no sign of anymore ants so fingers crossed. Is it best to continue spraying it on a regular basis or will the once be enough?
