I will give it a try, thanks. At first, the used coffee worked, but then they adapted. The boiling water seemed to work too, but then they learnt, that they should carry their wounded brothers to the grounds. I also used ant bacteria to eliminate the colonies, but they somehow got imunity. I'm starting to admire the ant kingdom's efficiency, but it's devastating to my strawberries, any berries in fact and tomatoes... they make small holes into the vegetables and then it won't ripen...
