And it doesn't kill them as long as it claims it does. But it does help lower the population. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

I also will move (kind of push them or bend) the plants out of the way a bit to spray. You should never spray anything insecticidal or fungicidal on your plants in full sun. They can burn very easily. Very early morning or very late evening just before the sunset is best. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

It is a granular product you mix into the top few inches of your soil. A systemic killer that goes up through the roots and gets rid of bugs trying to eat them. Just don't use it on fruits and veges. Or anything you plan on eating. _________________________ ~Tina It is only your very best friends who see who you really are and love you anyway.

Here's another idea for you............sprinkle a line of cayenne pepper around their trails (the ants trails) and also around your house foundation, entryway door thresholds and windowsills. Moth balls or peppermint oil soaked rags will discourage the wild rodents such as field mice, chipmunks and gophers. Carol
