I've tried spray and dust (which may have been diatomaceous earth, =
landlord can't remember). Neither is making it into the hole in the =
ground, which is either way far back or around a 90 degree bend.=20
She's ordering delta dust but I'd like to rig up a remote blower for it =
so I can hit them during the day from a few feet away. I'm thinking a =
length of rubber tubing with a T junction, and I dump the powder into a =
funnel in the T junction and blow it to the other end.=20
I'm open to less Caddyshack-like solutions :-)
