Hello
Well i bought the wood now i am ready to start my summertime
outdoor enclosure .
My plans are to build a box enclosure inside a 6x12 x6 chainlink dog run that my dog refuses to use .
The sides are going to be 8 " tall near the front gate(easy to walk & step over) 8 inch side's approx 4 feet back from front gate . The rear 8 ft will be 16 inch sides to allow for hills & moinds & landscaping & hides .
The substrate will be cypress mulch ,top soil .
Now the question is FIRE ANTS how do you control them ?
Here in South Texas we have a problem with fire ants & i need to Know how do you experienced outdoor keepers deal with fire ants?
Also in the sring, summer here it rarely gets below 60 at night .would any of you think leaving a couple of torts with 6" scl be ok to leave outdoors overnight ?
