I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
Pondered on the ecologically sound mass murdering of ants.My daughter thought planning a mass murder was fitting, for a vegetarian aspie. Tried a yeast/sugar approach. The insects did not even touch the nice concoction I made them.
Parakeets or Lorikeets?

Tried a yeast/sugar approach. The insects did not even touch the nice concoction I made them. I have yet to try the borax/sugar combo. Will let you know how that goes. I found another mound relatively close to the first one. The first one I refer to as Mecca. It's massive and all the ants flock to it. The second one is the suburbs. It's a little ways out, and more grass because it's not overpopulated yet I spent today introducing kids to a blue tongued skink.

A solution popular in the South is to put grits on the ant pile before a rain. They eat the grits and when they take in water, the grits explode in their stomachs. I just usually draw a line with chalk on the threshhold and a little ways up the door jamb. They've never crossed it yet.
Drove around to tag and estate sales for four hours bought a lot of very good stuff
