For plant stuff a steamer is a good shout. Or boiling water.
The thing with the ants is at the foot of my rose they build an external nest around the trunk and then the trunk gets all fucked up, so I'm not convinced they are always harmless.
As I said I don't do it willy nilly. They have plenty of other places they can go, just not two particular plants I like which are currently struggling for survival.

The metal weed scraper on a stick from BnQ is pretty good too :)
Huh, mine only sit in leftover sandy areas and dried out cracked clay, I have never seem them actually build anything.
My roses sit in a mix of compost and damp clay which they love, is the soil around yours very dry? My mum has dry soil which they don't love.

Next: Should jwestland use herbicides on the couch grass that she cannot dig out as it's a foot deep through the clay/between the driveway tiles...?
:p
But since the ants live there, I guess it's going have to be pulling and hope I get it all.
