GrayRiver Farms Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Please see below, the giant anthill on Palmira Abajo Road, where we put GR Greenacide in one application into this front hole. There were thousands of teeming ants there about a month ago. Please note that there is not one visible ant there today. The hill was much taller before the 5 inches of rain we have received this week. GR Greenacide is a blend of garlic and forest leaves-no chemicals!

MarkoBoquete Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 They have simply moved to a new location. The weight of ants in the world exceeds the weight of humans by a factor of 100 and they have been around for 500 million years. Humans, at best 1 million.. To them, you are a minor pest, easily avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting you, but thinking that there are better things on which to spend one's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Wow, to Mark and Keith. Just goes to show me how little I know about the world in which I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayRiver Farms Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well, at least they are gone. We saw a lot of dead ones. Somehow I don't think ants are immortal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoBoquete Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Betty, I apologize for my snippy comment about the futility of fighting ants. My gardener insists that they can be defeated by pouring gasoline into their entrances and setting them on fire, which is equally unpleasant an ineffective. Your solution sounds a lot more pleasant and I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, I too apologize for what Marcelyn told me could be interpreted as my snippy response to your above posting about the 500 million years. Being snippy was not my intention. Please forgive me.

GrayRiver Farms Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Don't worry, Mark. Any time you might like to try our Greeacide, just let me know. We had ants eating our Gardenias and I thought my gardener had taken a weedeater to them. They were cut in straight lines. He told me that the ants were coming from a neighbors property so I sent him up there to kill them. So far our gardenias are doing a lot better. That was at least 6 months ago.
