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!
Cheers, Carmel

Use 'DIPEL' which contains a bacteria, available from any (good)
garden centre. (intended for caterpillars, but works like a charm)

Mix it up a sachet and pour it around & on the tree, including into
where you disturbed them (disturb them as much as possible). They will
carry this bacteria back into the nest & wipe out the whole nest.

It also kills many species of nuisance ants.

Environmentally friendly too.
