carpenter ants in cherry blossom tree
I found out that my cherry blossom tree has a nest of carpenter ants
in it.. They started nesting where a branch was cut off a long time ago.. I can see in and see a few soldiers.. I was spraying around the house with Spectricide Terminate to build a barrier.. I decided to spray a little into the hole, and a bunch of angry ants came out.. I sprayed a little more, and even more ants came out.. A little more, then winged reproductives came out.. soon, the ground was covered with dying, disorientated ants.. Is this going to take care of it? or should a blow some boric acid in there for more long term control? and. is it even wise to do this to a living tree anyway? |
