Guess I may have misunderstood mark's post. I assumed he was getting
complaints, off list, about OT posts.
Back to my issue....
I have tried baits. The peanut butter based one I used was drawing bugs
of all sorts including one beatle that got it's head stuck in the trap
and there it died. I will look for the other types/brands suggested.
Cream of wheat? OK, I have enough hills to deal with, I will test this
method on one of them.
As for the torch suggestion, I have one hill that is thriving around and
under my fire pit so not sure how effective fire would be. But, I will
say this, IF I resort to this method, it won't be with a torch, I would
pour gas and then be able to stand back and light a "fuse". Hell, I have
enough hills, I will gas one as well.
I was told boiling water works. Any one ever heard of this method?
I am also tempter to dig one out, into my wheel barrow, until I find the
heart of the nest and then the queen. I could then use the torch to kill
the little bastards as they swarm out of the piles in the wheel
barrow.....bwaahahaahahaahahaah fire fire!
Thanks everyone!

knowledge of the subscribers is pretty impressive. I may even be
posting about my old Craftsman electric lawn mower soon, it kissed
the turf today.
Sorry I can't help with the ants, though. I can help with Team.Net,
