ant colony's will send out scout ants then the path finders before establishing the main ant convoy. with ant traffic in both directions. to video them you need a high frame rate. and a macro lens. behind a glass window in a sealed plastic container. to keep then on the outside. inbed the container and its glass window were the main ant convoy will cross the glass. to kill a nest, need to get them to take poison'd food back to the queen located 2 to 3 feet underground. with her dead the nest and colony will die. to stop infestation in a kitchen , immediately spray any scout ants on sight so they can not call for more path finders. flying ants are the female new-queens and the male drones. the worker ants and soldier ants with big heads both have no wings and are infertile or non-binary. most ants seen out side the nest are the workers, the maiden flight of the virgin queen ants is usually with changes of weather or barometric pressure. coming out of the underground nest just before rainfall or stormy weather. |

I find it amusing that a spammer uses a thread about ants to sneek into the forum to 'feed' on the free advertising ;D |

Borax, Powdered sugar and instant grits, about equal proportions. Dry. Sprinkle outside near the ant colony. They will take the stuff home to the queen and the instant grits will expand in the queen and kill her. Be sure to wash off your shoes and feet so the ants do not follow you into the house. |

Don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you,there might come a day when he's treading on you and you'll end up black and blue. |

This is the stuff you need if you can get it. I mixed up 50 gallons and poured it around my foundation 4 years ago. And not an ant trail since. |
