Hiya - I finally got around to setting up Harold's AP (Animal Plastics) enclosure. He was previously in a basic tank which he was starting to outgrow. I have placed his 100 Watt Ceramic Heater (CHE) on the dark side of the tank where Harold likes to sleep. This has an 8.5 inch circle screen (You...
Hi! I actually just got around to setting mine up today. I am having issues with the heating now... it's not supplying enough heat. I am just about to head out and get some more supplies. I am not handy either lol. If I can get the heat at the right point, it will make a fine enclosure. I also...
Thank you, Ken!! I was just telling my husband about two different ant colonies will fight to the death. Sounds super fun to watch to me hahaha. I am going to try that. There are plenty around. Thanks again!
I am still waiting for mine to be built and shipped. It takes several weeks for it to be done and shipped. From what I have seen in my research, it's one of the best ways to go for pre-built. You can customize it in regards to fixture mounting inside the enclosure, top circular screened holes...
Thank you! I feel so awful. I hope it didn't hurt any of them. I kept going out to try to scare them, but they had already eaten most of the bait in all of the areas. ;(
Has anyone had a problem with laying down ant bait and birds eating it? I know this can't be good. I just baited about 7 fire ant hills today. I just looked outside and about 50 birds (crows) were eating the bait..... Is this going to kill them? Has anyone else had this issue before?
This morning I have stirred up the ants and dumped 2 large pots of boiling water on them :D, I have baited with Boric acid sugar water solution on cotton balls in a container and also boric acid sugar water solution on oatmeal in a container. I have also just covered the whole area with corn...
What product do you use to bait inside the pen? I have searched high and low for red ant bait traps. The granules didn't work for me. I was hoping there was some (protein) bait traps I could place in the mason jars.
Thanks =)
Oh yeah, They are big mean red fire ants. I've tried bating them and nothing is working. If I used the granules on this particular side of the enclosure, after they die can I just flush the area several times? I could probably even dig out the grass and add new grass (We have a lot from building...
I just can't shake them!! I have literally tried everything!!! I thought they moved once, but they've only covered the previous area and the new area. Boric acid didn't kill them, DE didn't kill them, Bait in a mason jar with holes didn't kill them. These mother summa's are not moving!!!! Is it...
