: : I've heard of the fly assasins, but not nematodes...I see big trouble with both, but TX A&M University has a division working on something to eradicate them...Now that's a little scary..Aggies "planning" to kill something...They sent more Commissioned Officers into WW2 than both the Army and Naval Academies combined...Plus they've had bad luck just building bonfires..There is a hormanal birth control available, but its very expensive and it has to sprayed repeatedly over contiguous areas..These things can have up to 440 colonies per acre...Carl : : : I order nematodes from a biological supply business. these nematodes take out fleas and termites with ease, and with repeated and timely applications, the ants will soon disappear as well. if i get lazy though, and dont keep up the nematode spraying, they do come back. : : i believe the nematode is steinernema carpocapsae. pardon any spelling errors. : : the downside of this is that they eliminate many different types of buggies, so who knows what the consequences would be of using them on a large scale. : : : : : Pine Tree branches falling on my head and vocanos. : : : We also have some nasty critters up here. I used to see Bald Eagles and other Birds of Prey around here. Crows have all but destroyed the wild life that used to do ok. : : : I suppose the good thing is they are native. They just do better when suburbia takes over. : : : Death to Fire Ants. : : : : : : : : What kills the evil beasts? Anything? Something has to keep them under control where they are from. : : : : : : : : : : : Econo-Buy gallon size 1 gallon drum of: : : : : PROVENTAMITE? : : : : Just a thought, works wonders on mites, roaches and flies also. Heck, I have sprayed it on all types of insects with nothing but GREAT results. : : : : Doug..arent you glad we live out here now? LOL : : : : Where the only things we have to worry about are #1) Earthquakes : : : : #2) Rising electicity costs : : : : #3) Bad money grabbing Politicians : : : : #4) And the occasional flood! : : : : :) It's almost Christmas...... : : : : : : : : Fred
