Hi all,
It's been a scorcher here in Sydney, Australia today (39'C) and massive black ants have taken over my chickens waterer. I sprayed them all off with water and refilled it, only for them to come back seconds later.
My poor chooks were panting on their perch this evening so I took them a bowl of water and ice that they drank from but I'm concerned that the ants have put them off their normal waterer while they've invaded it....and how can I get rid of these ants without using poison that could harm my feathered babies.
Any suggestions?
Thanks !!!
