Got good advice from Greg W on this yesterday evening by phone. I'll order some Taurus insecticide... Then give them a couple of days to die off.



I bought some Taurus insecticide, for use around outbuildings and inside them. My main targets were ants outside, and brown recluse spiders inside. I've not seen any ants since, and have found some dead spiders. It seems to work. If I was wanting to kill them, I'd just mix half gas and half diesel and spray the snot out them. I used to do that on wasps and bumblebee nests in tobacco barns, and it will kill on contact.



I mentioned that to Greg, and he said he encounters many large hives in hollow trees that may infiltrate the tree for many feet. Contact killers will kill the ones you spray, but those deep inside are not gonna get a dose.

This stuff is carried to the far reaches of the hive. Every nook and cranny by the bees themselves. Then they ALL die with a couple of days.... smile

I have seen that on honey trees here. Hard to kill 'em all.
