I always feel sorry about poisoning them

They are determined. Every benign method I tried failed. They compete with us for territory and resources. That's what it amounts to, I guess. We have to win.😞

Thanks very much for the comment and the support. Much appreciated🌺

Wow! I just read both posts as I munched on my lunch. If this material had been packaged in a book, I would have bought it :)

You truly know your stuff. I've always been fascinated by insects, although I am not a 'scientist'. I have read enough about ants (and also written about them in the past) to thoroughly understand and enjoy your material. It is just wonderful!

Many thanks! I am flattered.
