It is working!
I have a persistent, red and black field ant colony in my sun heated greenhouse, and they are annoying as heck, although they don't seem to bite and so far have not damaged plants. I want to make them move out, but no gentler remedy has been working (borax, bait, diatomaceous earth), probably because the queen is 2-3 ft underground. My theory is that I will weaken the colony by spraying this killer on the ants that swarm out after I kick the boards or spray water on their piles. It doesn't smell bad, but I leave the greenhouse right after using. They do keel over dead. After a week or so of doing this every day, I will use a permethrin drench in an attempt to get the queen. This involves boring holes as deep as possible with a metal rod, like a crowbar, and drenching through the channels thus formed. I hope to finish this protocol successfully before any food crops are growing to any size. I have baby melon seedlings about 3 ft away from the colony.
