The right mix would have been more like a couple tablespoons in a gallon of water but read the label. It came in several concentrations but that was overkill for bees. We don't use any pesticides, and certainly don't want anything around that would kill bees. The bees are having a tough enough time. We do put up traps for the damned Japanese beetles, though...and they only attract the beetles. I was going to say that. I've seen reports where farmers are concerned about a decline in the bee population since they are very important for pollination in agricultural circles. Now we have whackos like The Freak spraying around dangerous compounds wiping them out. Wonder if the federal Agriculture people would be interested? |

I doubt if littleman freak or many of the other righties here give a tinker's dam about the environment. He probably changes his car's oil and then pours the used up oil in his backyard or on his gravel driveway. |

I am pretty much a live and let live guy but if there was a nest of yellow jackets in my yard that were a danger to my grandkids, they would have to go. You don't need poison to do this. You should clean out your yard of food they like to eat and use traps to catch the queen. You can even use boric acid. |

You should clean out your yard of food they like to eat and use traps to catch the queen. You can even use boric acid. It is pretty hard to eliminate food for a yellow jacket. They eat bugs. Boric acid is poison but I agree it is safer than most. Usually you use it in baits. That is certainly the best way to control ants. What do you do about termites food source. Your house is built from termite food. A little bit of Chlordane around the foundation will save the homeowners a tremendous amount of money in the future. |

Termites don't come from around the foundation. They are blind and tunnel around. When they hit food (wood), they keep eating. What you need to do is bait traps (wood) around the house. You also need to inspect under the house on a regular basis and possibly bait traps under there as well. |
