Re: getting rid of red ants

["GESA BRINKS" <gesaeqfx@pe.net>]

We poor diazanon granules (not powder) into every hole we find.  We do this
about once a week or so.  The horses totally ignore the stuff, my pig and
chickens check it out and then ignore it too.  I was told that an animal has
to injest several pounds of it before it will even begin to make them ill.
We fill the holes completely so that the little buggers have to move it to
get in and out . We tried to follow the instructions on the can but it
worked better just dumping it into the hole and making them move it.  You
will find a lot of little dead ant bodies in a day or so.         gesa n
