ants in worm farm
I am having a real problem with those little black ants in my worm farm. I
put ice-cream containers under each leg and filled it with water which stopped them for a couple of weeks, but the little buggers are now swimming across to get to the leg. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself! Does anyone have any ideas of how to keep them out? Thanks -- Mousie 3 )~ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Pour some kero into the water, it will float on top of the water and the
ants will not like it at all. "Mousie" wrote in message ... I am having a real problem with those little black ants in my worm farm.

and if they decide they like the kero you could always put a match to it
once they get in :;-) "APR" wrote in message ... Pour some kero into the water, it will float on top of the water and the ants will not like it at all. "Mousie" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the suggestions - I think I'll try the kero without the match!

I had the same problem and I ended up putting vasoline on the legs of
the worm farm - ants can't get past it! "Mousie" wrote in message . ..

I found I had lots of dead worms |
