Just joined the group as found this thread via google groups.


Just wondered what if you want to kill the nests, i have 2 ant
nests in both my compost bins and have also found one under the
patio.


I would rather kill them off personally, but im worried about using
a chemical which my harm our new chickens?


Anyone got a solution to this?


As you can get at them, boiling water does a pretty good job!


Yeah, I was thinking about that I have to admit
