Howdy again redheadpei! How do you guys get rid of your ant hills? I try to disturb them once a week and after a couple of months they give up their mound and move somewhere else. I think that can be sped up by putting some gasoline on them but I prefer the less deadly method.
I mean, I don't want them in the yard but I know they are part of the eco system as well so they have a purpose. Actually I'm not sure what their purpose is though. lol.
The vaccine issue, yes it's quite a conundrum because they are pushed by so many big hospitals and medical companies. But if you research the vaccine you'll find tons of horrifying information put out as warnings by literally some of the top doctors and scientists in the world. A few weeks ago the figure of deaths attributed directly to the vaccine was over 10,000(which our mainstream media will never talk about) and some scientists estimate that over the next few years if most people take it, like 90%, that the death toll will be in the millions world-wide. And that doesn't count the terrible side effects, neurological disorders and auto immune diseases that the vaccines are causing. yikes.
On our CDC's own website they admit that the vaccines don't prevent people from getting the virus so why would anyone get one? I'm sorry for the rant, I'm just alarmed about it and I want you guys to be safe. I don't trust our government nor our government endorsed or affiliated institutions any more! That's sad. Maybe yours is more trustworthy!
Morning Cowboy,
Yes there is still a lot of hype about the vaccines. I ‘m still undecided. The only thing is, I don’t think eventually one will be able to travel out of state or province without showing proof of vaccination for Covid-19 or quarantine for 14 days. Not that I plan on going that far but even to get on a plan to see friends in Ontario may prove difficult without proof of vaccine.
About the ants. They sure are determined little critters. I know of a friend who poured really hot water on an anthill on her lawn and she said it worked to keep them away. One may have to resort to fire to get rid of them. I don’t want them on the lawn near the house but they are fine in the forest.
Ants have a purpose besides being food of other animals. Some species, like the carpenter ant and the stinging fire ant, can be pests but generally ants are beneficial. Their activities aerate the soil. The leaves and insects brought into the nest decay and fertilize the surrounding plants. Ants are decomposers, feeding on organic waste, insects, or other dead animals.
