Does it matter if they are large old ants on any old hill or if they are any old ant on a large old hill?
We had some carpenter ants once upon a time in our log home. I asked the guy doing the repairs how he knew they were carpenter ants. His reply "They're the ones with pencils on their ears." End of monologue. Back to vaudeville.

One thing about the gas. It works 100%. No debate about will it work or not.
I used to actually light them on fire with the gas but then, one time when I did it, the fire traveled up the gas can and lit me on fire for a few seconds. It didn't burn any skin but it burned my clothes a bit. That was the last time I lit them. When I did it you could hear the ants pop, that was kind of cool. Now when I do it they all just curl up and pass away in their sleep, immediately. BTW, if I had a smaller yard I probably wouldn't do it. Our last house had a small front and back yard and I am not sure I would do it there. We have some room for it to dissipate.... Quote:

I thought it was grits or oatmeal. when they eat it, they will explode.
Generally gasoline works well on huge ones. I use just the bag of powdered ant killer.

I use to use the powder as well, but it seemed it only worked for a while and you were left with the mess, especially on the patio. It's too early yet, I think, but I still see no ants on or around the hills.

As a kid in much different times we used Diesel fuel for weed killer. Last edited by bnorth; 06-15-2017 at 05:32 PM. |
