A year ago almost to the day I noted a mass invasion of ants Red Ants on move Sunday, May 16, 2010
It seems to be an annual event initiated by the first rains
Ant colonies that made their home in open fields during the dry season are all looking for drier homes and a fresh supply of food.
.
All trails seem to be leading to my house at the moment.Best defense against ant home invasion is Talc.
Most of the entry trails to my house started around bushes touching the house. Spent the morning doing some heavy pruning and talc dusting.
Opened a large bag of individual wrapped candies in the kitchen.
Forgot to seal the bag with a rubber band.
Within two days an ant colony had found my stash.
The ants went the full length of the house to get there.
Next project: Talc the attic
