I take it you don't have ants ?
They chew the roots from my plants and small veggie plot and kill them.
Rumour has it, that MK was built on an ant hill, when I was doing "domestic" pest control I'd do about a dozen ant jobs / day through the summer.
And of course we weren't the only local pest control company, all the others I spoke to were doing equal or more ant jobs.
Red ants bite worse than black ants. And your'll know it if you step on a nest.
Worse of course if *you" have young children around the place.
Or even cats / dogs come to that.
They can get into their noses, while they are checking out any apparent nest
If left uncontrolled they will be in your house marching over work tops looking for any opportunity to eat.
Even the merest of morsels that *you* probably wouldn't even see will feed an ant for at least a day.
Last resort that one, but I know people that have been driven to distraction by them and tried to set light to the nest ...I think this guy mixed fertilizer with sugar...
Worked though.
Absolutely, but I have a whole heard of ladybird larvae bought and released earlier this year.. so far no aphids.. You’ll still have the aphids if you kill the ants. I realise you have a special interest in bugging up the damage they do .
It'll kill a few if you hit them directly, but as above it'll go no where near the queen and she'll still be producing replacementI bought some ant killer spray but it looks like it has no effect on them.

Of course its deep underground and that has no effect...

Also something that is a real PITA.

faster than you can kill them.
That's a long time to go without food ....For the first time in well over a year I went shopping.

I managed not to buy a couple of film era primes I really honest truly don't need on evil bay.

At least they're not eating them....A police academy in Shenyang, China is to sell 54 trainee dogs starting at £22 each because they're not good enough for law enforcement work. They include German Shepherds and Belgium Malinois (they look very similar to the German Shepherd dogs)..They were branded as 'cowards' or had 'feeble paws ' and another flaw was 'curly ears'. Curly ears ?? The mind boggles...
What cheered me up was that, at least, they're selling them and not putting them down which is what I was expecting to read.

I used to have a Chinese GF. She had a couple of jobs one of which was escorting Chinese delegations here there are everywhere and acting as a guide and translator. Once in London one delegate when watching the pigeons said "Why don't the British eat them? The British are stupid, they'll be delicious." She said in some parts of the country they hunt and eat everything.

I had a Kazakh GF, she was a originally a country girl and said the same... in rural parts they hunt and eat anything that moves or rather they hunt and eat anything that doesn't move fast enough. I don't agree with it... but it's their practice and culture.
Under Chairman Mao, as part of a campaign to rid China of pests they decided to exterminate sparrows who were accused of eating seeds & grains. Many millions or sparrows were exterminated, then the chinese discovered that sparrows ate insects too, & without the sparrows the insect population boomed & destroyed the food crops ..... causing mass starvationSome years ago when China had only just ‘opened up’ a relative went there fairly frequently selling medical software. While being shown around he arrived in a rural town square and found a crowd of men with guns gathered round a tree. From the exited nature he suspected
some sort of insurrection but on closer inspection it appeared the excitement was about what he described as “a small sparrow in the tree” .

The Four Pests Campaign: Objectives, Execution, Failure, And Consequences
The systematic extermination of sparrows in China during the Four Pest Campaign led to large-scale ecological disasterwww.worldatlas.com
As so many sparrows were exterminated, maybe the villagers were struck with the novelty of finding one?Yes, I know, and it’s possible this was a hangover from Mao but it was a longish time after him . Still, old habits die hard, especially in China, as we are currently witnessing .
