Goodness, I really don't know! I haven't heard of such thing, but then again - it's nature, so it wouldn't really surprise me! I think as long as mama bird is still coming to feed them she SHOULD take care of it. I know plenty of things that kill ants, but I couldn't really say the chemicals in them wouldn't hurt the birds, too. Maybe find a bait/poison you could put relatively near (but not on) the next to draw them there? Good luck!   |

I'll bet you have some great natural ant repellants right in your kitchen now. Look for where the lines of ants are coming from and going to, then treat those areas (Not the bird nest) Cinnamon Sticks & Garlic Cloves Place cinnamon sticks or garlic in areas where you have seen ants. Vinegar Place white vinegar or apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on areas where you have seen ants. The fungicidal and insecticidal properties in the vinegar help prevent ants. Black Pepper Sprinkle black pepper where you see ants. The ants will immediately scatter. Pay attention to where they run. Boiling Water For serious anthill problems in your yard or walkway, pour boiling water over the anthills. It sounds a bit cruel, but pesticides can be equally, if not more, cruel. Mint Mint destroys the smelling capabilities of ants and prevents them from entering your home. There are several ways to use mint to prevent ant infestations. First, plant mint around your home, especially near doors and close to areas where you have seen anthills. Second, place mint leaves in and around windows. If ants are entering your pantry, place some mint leaves on the shelves and in the corners.  |

Maybe gently pour water, to wash away aunts? Or get something to eat the ants that isn't as threat to the birds. Preying mantus maybe? Plant nursery would have them for sale.  |
