Red
Ants to Dead Ants - How
to help them make the Transition
Red Ants are one of the banes of Nevada Living.
They Bite, Sting, Kill Vegetation, Make Life Hell for Pets and in my
Opinion they have no Redeeming Virtues.
A typical Red Ant nest looks something like this in the early
morning.
Wait until it is nice and hot outside.
Eighty Plus degrees is a good temperature to start with.
Apply a ring of ant
killer around the nest and
then stir the
pot.
Shove
a stick in the nest hole.
Get the ants
nice and angry.
The object is to get large numbers of the ants outside; attacking,
eating and carrying
ant killer down into the nest where the queen will hopefully
take a bite or two.
An hour or so is
all it takes to shut down a nest if you use
the right insecticide.
Not
sure what kind of Ant killer to use?
Let
me introduce you to a friend of mine:
This
stuff is unfortunately no longer manufactured but you
can buy
existing supplies.
I highly recommend it for Red Ants and Ebay is a great place
to find it.
