Eradication patrol

I went on an ant eradication mission today in my yard and helped my neighbour with his ant hill as I got my hands on 3 one gallon containers of antout chemical killer. I thoroughly soaked 7 ant hills in my yard with copious amounts of chemical ant killer and dug up a large ant hill about 2 feet deep and 3 across and treated it. I then went to my neighbours as he has a massive ant hill at his fence line we ended up digging it out and treating it with more chemical ant killer we dug a 6 foot wide circle and down about 3 feet the colony was massive and we figure there were at least 5 queen ants in the colony. In addition we treated another 5 ant hills in his yard and still have about 3/4 of a gallon of ant killer left.

We figure we will lose grass where we treated in both yards but its a small price to pay to kill off the ant populations.

If you think about all the ants you killed , then think if they all organised and ganged up on you , you would have been screwed ! So really it was you or them , self defence even .

We considered it open warfare the ants declared war on us we struck back with all the high tech toys we could shovels, picks, stomping boots and chemicals now to await the ants retaliation or their whimpering retreat

I was told that this morning by an environmentally friendly person unfortunately the way the person presented it got my gander up and my tolerance of environmentalists is relatively low to begin with so I made it a point of buying more chemical ant killer

Most of the members on here are somewhat concerned about the environment. Not really the right site to be boasting about proudly dumping chemicals in to the ground.
