Erin from Bulimba – says white vinegar definitely works

Nev calls from Joyner – wet a Panadol tablet – rub it on the bite – works on all bites

John calls from Bundaberg – Andro works to eradicate ants in your yard (they use it on footy fields all the time)

Mick calls from Burpengary – Stingoes works for bites and stings

Ursula calls from Deception Bay – Cloudy ammonia works on bites

Roz calls Everton Hills – you cannot beat aloe vera for stings and bites

Andreas calls from Perigian Beach – says Windex works

Bob calls from Eagle Heights – Vicks Vapour Rub works to take the stings out of bites and stings

Pearl calls from Bald Hills – Vegemite rubbed on a bite works a treat

Peter calls from Tambourine – WD40 is the best treatment you can get

Blog comments Your Say

  • to Lorraine: Tip Ant Sand (Mortein)into the green ant hole and around the nest. I have tried a variety of sprays and ant poisons, but have only had success with this. Note: you do have to find the green ant nest. They might come back at times, but I have managed to keep my yard pretty clear of green ants, despite being next to parks and reserves full of ants.

  • CAN ANY BODY TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF GREEN ANTS BECAUSE ONE BITE IS LIFE THREATING TO ME ( ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK )

  • Oh my goodness, I have been bitten by green ants today, I have been bitten a million times in my life and have never experienced anything sooo painfull!!!! thank you to the person who suggested white vinegar becaues it is the only thing that worked. I thought that a spider or fire ant had bitten me but husband put white vinegar on it after my desperate search on this blog for adivce, the pain has just started to leave now after 5 hours of agony!

  • White Vinegar every single time works 100%. We have had green ants infesting our back yard for 25 years and we've all had plenty of green ant bites over the years and Vinegar has always worked for us ;)
