Any bright ideas for something to rub on the power cable of a laptop that has become an ant thoroughfare?

How I love Songkran in rural Khon Kaen.

Yes i have been at war with the ants around my house for 20 years,

cost me a fortune in spray and must have killed billions over the years

but they have still come back.

Last month my wife was told to try a powder called PINK

its smells like talcum powder and its used to sprinkle on dogs

to stop fleas etc we sprinkled the powder on the telephone line that was the ants

highway to my house.

Have not seen a ant since,its lasted over 6 weeks now so get yourself a plastic

bottle of this stuff 40 baht thats all it cost and your computershould be ant free

Sounds like a good idea, where is it sold? Supermarkets? Hardware shops?

My wife bought the powder in a local shop in my village,i should think any pet shop

would stock this powder, it comes in a Pink plastic container mainly in Thai it as a

picture of a dog and cat and its manufactured by Bukalo trading co.

Im not joking its won the war for me this past 6 weeks

Thanks for that tip. Need same.

Even though the ants are crawling on your computer gear it's really not a technology issue

Lets move it to Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand which seems to be the usual place to discuss pests and critters.

Many thanks for the replies and redirection.
