Does anyone know if Mercadona sell Bay Leaves. I understand they deter Ants.

Consume have them on the Spice rack, they are called Laurel in Spain, which is what it is, the Bay Laurel. Also deter Cockroaches from under the kitchen cupboards.

Thank you so much - will the spice work just as well as the leaves. Or am I being a bit naive?

Although they are on the spice rack they are actually the leaves (in packets).

At our local Saturday, open air market they give fresh spices away, whatever is in season. LastSaturday. it was a large twig of bay leaves

Thank you all for your prompt responses. Much appreciated.

1kg bag of bicarb of soda, €1.20 @ consum , spinkle some of that down that deters ants, put some down outside there hole and along my steps ,all ants gone,after 2 days and haven't returned as yet. no danger to pets!

mix bi carb with icing sugar , no more ants

Try insecticide spray, seems to do the trick.
