we had fruit trees some of which were not in good shape. I suspect that attracted the ants as they will attract to diseased rotten wood. Remove any trees that fit that catagory and if you have fruit trees, pick it or pick it off the ground if they have fallen. |
Thanks so much that's a great idea. We have one that I didn't know what to do with last year in our yard. We live in Alberta. I wouldn't even want to put ant poison down outside the yard because I was thinking what if the ants ingested it and then come in the yard and then one of the girls was to eat one of the ants. I would be so afraid they would be poisoned too.
I'm going to try that with the boiling water though what a great idea!
