I put out a white ant powder and they are not there this afternoon
but I have never seen black tiny ants in alabama

The fire ants that came to the usa years ago back in the 60's
destroyed the black sugar ants we used to see as children in
the carolinas and surely down in alabama too..

Good idea on the ext agent but he is 30 miles round trip from me..
his office..

I appreciate your caring and your suggestions so much!'
thank you again and anyone else that might have suggestions
I do need for iris borers some help on what to do

I do have those....

last year when I divided iris that were 2 years old
there were many I had to throw out due to holes
in them ..borers...

I had them on elevated areas and not over watered
so what does one do to prevent them and not harm
our pets that walk in the flower beds?
