How do you get rid of the anthills? We have HUGE ones on our property and they freak me out
People I know burn or spray them, but I've seen them disrupted and die just from digging them up and spreading them around. In pastures, anthills are good... they eat fly larvae out of horse droppings. I have several around the pasture... and between frequent spreading of droppings, so that it dries before flies can lay eggs in it, and, I think, my anthills, I don't have very many flies at all :~D
I think they're fascinating... thousands of ants, who are all busy doing something all the time. They have little freeways they use, and it's all quite civilized :~D
Around here they don't die. They just move on to the next neighbors yard:')
I was thinking about you monday when I had a lesson. Before speeding up my trainer had me have my horse go both directions at a walk first. She said she needed to see stuff with both eyes. It worked too. We were going north by some field activity and she was mellow. When we went south the same scene put her on alert and then she was ok. Funny huh?
How is the barn coming along? Will you have other people to ride with, are there trails?
We love burning fire ants. They deserve it. (sweet smile.)
