Usually when you see me swearing or just being visibly upset, you'll know that the ants are somehow involved! LOL We are surrounded by forests, why do they still take over our greenhouse or invade our buildings?!<br /><br />But you know what we did last year when the ants were taking over our fir tree that we left inside the terrace floor? Hubby suggested that he'd tape the trunk of the tree so that the sticky side would be on the outside. Sure it was a little disturbing to see the ants get stuck to the tape and eventually die but the other ants saw this as well and wouldn't cross anymore. So it worked and we got our tree back! Yay! :D<br /><br />Enter me :)Mariann Reahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399165595743073950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593446012269283473.post-44365294926003386012011-05-09T07:56:54.562-07:002011-05-09T07:56:54.562-07:00I always thought that ants were smart!

Take the feeder down and put fresh nectar in it and before you hang it back up, spray the tree towards the bottom of the trunk with ant spray. I have mine hanging on my deck, so I just spray the pole You won't have them again till the rain comes and washes it away, then you simply have to spray again. The feeder should be changed once a week anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. <br />Oh, and guess what??????? I saw my first one last night! Almost got a photo this morning but the light from the camera scared it away. :( I'm on the lookout!!<br />I have a really bad woodpecker problem on 3 of my trees too. Got to have someone come out and take a look see at them.<br />Have a wonderful day!<br /><br />P.S....I would love to see hubby dancing to that music!!
