Hey Gloria, (and all)
I apologize for my previous post. I've been a bit inbittered since my large deal, that was going to allow me the $$ to buy a lot on the BI went south. That with the flu.. oh well you do the math.
When I get to feeling better I will talk to my neighbor about his, for better lack of words, stuff he gives me. When I asked him what it was once, he just said "dude you don't want to know jus use it sparingly".
It comes, from him, in a mason jar (half full). It is a tan dry granule that he says the worker ants take to the queen. He says that it does not kill them immediatly thus letting theem get it to the queen (which is very important).
Like Jerry, many here do use malithion. Problem with it is, well among the obvious leaching to the ground water problems, it usually doesn't get to the Queen even with the most thorough drenching.
She, the queen, just moves out in the middle of the night. You can tell when she goes by the caravan of black suburbans with darked out windows
.
When/if I get up and around I'll post some of the remedies that they use around here. (dave will have to go down to the feed store)
Blessings,
dave
