I just have ants crawling everywhere & the DE was "chicken safe" but I didn't know it was bad for the bees. GAH! We have tons of bees. I could probably do so me beekeeping, but legitimately you need AN ACRE for bees in Brevard (seriously) & I don't really think I'd enjoy the harvest. For now, I'd just like to pay people for their local, raw honey. Ace Hardware near me sells some from West Melbourne. So random!
Anyway, I haven't posted pics of my setup. I haven't really taken pics of my "setup" but I should. Will go do that - woke-up late today. 7:45 is SLEEPING IN for me. Is that sad or what?
I've had excellent luck with Terro indoors for any small ants. Terro is just a borax/sugar mixture that kills off populations. I was considering trying more of that outdoors, but it's really not for outside. They sell a more hardcore pesticide for outside & I am trying HARD not to use non-organic pesticide. I haven't tried that "insecticidal soap" yet. Maybe I'll pick some of that up today. So much to do... Also I remembered how much I like turnip fries & turnip greens.... so I'll be buying some of those seeds, as well.
By the way, if you got one of those YES! Shopping papers (usually would just trash it but lately I've been finding good coupons in what looks like junk) ... it has a yellow Kitchenaid mixer on the front page.... there was a 50% off anything $30 and under at Ace. Well I was excited!!!
