Thanks all! Hart thank you for all your input! I've tried for years to erradicate the boogers to no avail! I've tried everything , within reason! I cant just sprinkle any thing on the mounds for fear of endangering my animals, and myself! I am highly allergic to most pesticides! Plus the fact that most all of them will kill beneficial insects!
My chickens are not afraid of the mounds at all but will stay clear of them. Its the ants that will come after them , looking for moisture of any nature! But Im doing everything I can right now to keep the ants at bay. so far my efforts are paying off , and the rain is calming them down enough to make them stay in their mounds!
This is the left over mounds that we killed with hot salty water!
