[Jacob-list] Red Ants

[Katherine Wisor]

Linda Where do you get it.  Lowes brand of DE has other chemicals in  
it.  I used to worm all my animals with it when I bought 40 # at a  
time from my bug man. ( I tried to contact him and then remembered I'm  
58 and he was 20 years older than me , woops . LOL )  It must kill  
them  at the laval stage.  It doesn't kill hard shelled insects like  
ants.  I bet they just move .  It also dose not harm earth worms.   
Great stuff .  Happy Easter  PS We had Baby Black spanish turkeys  
hatch this morning , WHAT A GREAT DAY !   Blessiings >KAtherine
