I have had success getting rid of ants that use a pot for
nesting by submerging the entire growing medium in a
containter of water where the level of the water overflows
so that the ants leave. You may have to sweep them
off of any top growth that is unsubmerge, but they will
abandon the nest.
I haven't done this with Nepenthes 'cause I don't grow them outside,
but should work.
As an aside, I was following the thread about differences in N and S
hemispheres. I believe that a spot on the tropic of capricorn and
the tropic of cancer (or any other two longitudal pairs) should be
the same climate, but opposite in season. Christmas is in summer
in Australia but winter in America. The only wild card in the equation
in my my would be differences in the magnetosphere,
and I would question even that.
