G'day Carmel

Do NOT disturb them.......I know it's very tempting, but if you do, then
they will reappear somewhere else, possibly your house!!

Unfortunately, (thanks to all the greenies) you are unable to buy the
necessary chemicals to get rid of them now, so you best option is to
phone a pest controller as they are licenced and therefore able to buy
the chemicals.

Get two, or three, quotes and my suggestion is to use the smaller
one-man companies, rather than the big household names who charge heaps
more to fund their massive advertising programs.

Your house is more important than the tree, although if the tree is
already damaged then you might need to have any dead limbs lopped in
case they could fall on your house.

Again, please do NOT be tempted to disturb them.
Hope this helps?

I noticed what I think to be white ant activity in a gum tree near my vegie
garden this morning. Any suggestions on how to save the tree but, more
importantly, kill the ants!
