YTD rodent count
Since April my humane trapping method has yielded six chipmunks, four squirrels, and one peanut
butter loving cowbird. Except for one chipmunk, they were all released without harm. The chipmunks get a long ride first, and then they must find a new home in the woods. The squirrels and the cowbird get released immediately. My lovely wife won't let me dress and freeze the squirrels. Don't know why. The one chipmunk get caught when I was away for the weekend. Usually I'll 'unset' the trap, but the mind is getting worse every year. I'm thinking in another 20-25 years it will have deteriorated to Donnie's level. |

The only thing I ever tried to trap was cats and I ended up getting possums and raccoons. I gave up. No animals were harmed but one of the possums was trying to set up housekeeping in the trap. I was just tired of feeding him. The cat I was trying to get tangled with something bigger, probably a bobcat and he was shredded in the front yard. |

The John must be hoping his wife won't notice the squirrels and he can sneak a quick snack...probably raw. I doubt he'd even notice the fur. Wife bought and set a live trap for a Norway rat that appeared in the neighbourhood but only caught a couple of Crackles. Someone else must have gotten the rat...no sign of him for a couple of months. |

The tunnels they make along the foundation are not welcome. The best you can hope for with any rodents is to slow them down. You do have to be careful and not trade a fairly benign rodent for a far more destructive one. When you get rid of everything else, rats will fill the void. That is usually caused by uncontrolled feral cats. Haven't had a rat in several years now. We do put out the rat stations and have a pest guy come by, but all he's finding in the stations is mouse ****. I wonder why the damn chipmunks won't eat rat poison. Maybe I should put some Jiffy Super Crunch on it. |

I have "crazy ants" in the house now and these are crazier than most. I don't ever see them eating anything so baiting is not an option. Perimeter sprays really only do so much and I really think they are living under the slab. I don't see then outside anywhere and I have sprayed the outside around the house. These guys are really strange. They actually run and hide from you. They act more like German roaches than ants. If you turn the lights on you see some but in a few seconds they all disappear. I saw them in a doughnut box and I thought I had them but they were not eating the doughnuts, they were just hiding in the box. I left one out on the counter all day and they never touched it. If I can find out what they will eat, I can get them. So far, no joy. I am working on trying to get every penetration in the slab but that is tough since some are inside the walls, not really near anything I can get to. They will just pop up somewhere else if you can't kill the queen anyway. This is the longest I have ever gone without figuring out what my ants eat and baiting them. It has been over 20 years since I found a commercial bait that they would touch. I also have not seen a sugar eating ant in about that long. These guys can get very selective. The last time I saw an ant eating anything, it was a dead bug and I think the poison that killed the bug, killed them so now they don't eat dead bugs. I guess that is how they survived a few million years. |

Orthene was what I used on the fire ants here but the ants I have now don't have mounds to treat. I think they live under concrete slabs and just pop up through any available penetration or crack. I never see a mound and treating the edges and penetrations just moves them around. I am using bifen now, based on advice from the home repair NG. Lambda-Cyhalothrin based stuff was pretty good but I guess somebody decided it was too good because HD/Lowes doesn't sell it anymore here. |

Ortho Orthene is the best stuff I've found for killing fire ants. Don't know if you can get it up there. Unlike the stuff like Amdro, it doesn't even warn you to not disturb the mound when you apply. But we're not infested, just have an occasional mound pop up. I don't think they like our heavy clay soil. Orthene was what I used on the fire ants here but the ants I have now don't have mounds to treat. I think they live under concrete slabs and just pop up through any available penetration or crack. I never see a mound and treating the edges and penetrations just moves them around. I am using bifen now, based on advice from the home repair NG. Lambda-Cyhalothrin based stuff was pretty good but I guess somebody decided it was too good because HD/Lowes doesn't sell it anymore here. Sort of like Clordane. Sprayed the foundation of my first house in 1969 and when we left 10 years later, we still had not had an ant invasion. Here, we have Argentine ants mostly.

I can kill them if I can just figure out what they will eat. They got so selective that they would only eat dog food that the dog had chewed on. I baited with that and now those ants are gone. More came back and they won't eat that. I did find them feeding on a dirty dinner plate but I could not figure out what they liked. I tried to duplicate it and ... nothing. We are finding out here in Florida that most things people "know" about ants, may not be true. Other colonies will take in "orphan" ants. Some colonies have multiple queens and they have multiple, different, food streams. If one group dies, the others will not eat that food. This place is the perfect laboratory for ants. It is a 12 month season, the ground is perfect for tunneling and we have a big influx of exotic species. |

I think they live under concrete slabs and just pop up through any available penetration or crack. I never see a mound and treating the edges and penetrations just moves them around. I am using bifen now, based on advice from the home repair NG. Lambda-Cyhalothrin based stuff was pretty good but I guess somebody decided it was too good because HD/Lowes doesn't sell it anymore here. Amazon does. https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb...da-Cyhalothrin The boys over on Home Repair swear bifen is the stuff I want so I am giving it a shot. |
