For those who are plagued with ants, Organic Gardening had a recipe for long-term ant control bait in the November/December 1997 issue. It really works. They were also the source of the information about using a weak sugar solution to attract beneficial, predatory insects, i.e., ladybugs, green lacewings. Some companies market beneficial insect bait, but the weak sugar solution works just as well. -- Andie Paysinger & the PENDRAGON Basenjis,Teafer,Cheesy,Singer & Player asenji@earthlink.net So. Calif.
