Man, you have one heck of a long attention span, I would have lost
count at around 30. <br>
<br>
Mother nature got rid of my carpenter ants for me by moving in a hive
of red and black mound ants (the real vicious kind). I was about to
kill the mound ants so that I could travel that part of my yard without
getting bit when I noticed then carring off carpenter ant bodies. So I
put up with the mound ants until there was no sign of the carpenter
ants, then I killed the mound with a very small amount of ant dust and
a shovel.<br>
<br>
So I say let them duke it out, and then poison the red ones. <br>
<br>
I have a new kind of ant problem, they look like carpenter ants but
they go for food<br>
especially sugar. I'm thinking about trying to import another hive of
red and blacks to get rid of them.<br>

think I counted 1,458,276 ants on my front lawn sidewalk and front
porch steps today before I lost count. Both black ants and red ants,
and there's bad blood between them. I saw a huge brawl on one of the
steps today. Red ants were definitely winning. While I am generally a
pacifist, I have murder in my heart vis-a-vis these critters. Does
anyone know of an effective, non-toxic method of sending them to ant
heaven while not hurting other innocent, 4 legged or winged friends?
I'm not sure Raid is the answer.<br>
