But in your case Alex I would recomeend one of these for those pesky Carpenter Ants. :slight_smile:

An anteater! Cool! Wonder how it’d get along with the cats… :question:

Last year, we got rid of the only bit of damp wood on our house that would attract carpenter ants, namely a bad section of patio roof, by having a tear-off, repair and re-roofing done, with installation of additional vents. Thank God, we didn’t have an actual ant infestation! We just get the occasional bug checking the place out to see if there’s anything interesting, but we still kill 'em as a preemptive measure. Of course, that’s if the cats don’t harass them into submission. :smiling_imp:

See the problem we have with the vulture, Jacqi? He thinks Alexandria has ants :confused: He probably thinks you have bedbugs. It gets worse as time moves on. I think a visit from the falcon is the best and most humane solution.

I was thinking (a mistake, i know) that the falcon may not be the best method. Too much variability. What if the bird of prey is not hungry? What if its mother-in-law is in town? What if it has a head ache (could be a female falcon)?

I am thinking a brace of 10ga. goose with bird shot from 30ft. would get the job done. Plus there would be little pick up required as the amount of shot that would be released would essentially vaporize the creature.

Now, now, gentlemen. Capital punishment just might be considered cruel and unusual for this level of alleged offense! (I know; Justice Scalia might take issue with that assessment. :wink: )

You forgot that I have been hitting the “shine” and therefore I am bullet proof!

Be wary of my drunken Kung Poo style as it may get messy!

Whaaaa chaaaaa kappppooooowwww pooooooooooo

Hmmm… would that be a hybrid of Drunken and Crane style?

it can only get worse Jacqi :frowning:

Maybe I’ve watched too many kung fu movies. :confused:

Try this for a comfortable fit :smiley:
