DE-earth eats the bugs from the inside out. so do the nematodes.. i've destroyed some anthills just with DE-earth. just dont inhale the stuff. thats the only warning. made from diatoms, millions of years ago, it is like tiny razor blades, an hard on the lungs, but will cut a bug. bugs are tough on the outside, mush on the inside. [this could stand some correcting, if necessary]. the DE-earth, when ingested by bugs, eats them from the inside-out. it's not harmful to people or pets, least they breathe it, the dust. if ya ever shot pool, ya might have inhaled it. DE-earth, is in many products. friendly nematodes, i think not. 💥 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) thanks ... Ted but talstar p works best around here ... show me a pic / information and I'll check that treatment out... but till now I've never heard of it before... and talstar is very toxic! ... you should see how fire ants react a few minutes after the mound is treated... lol!

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 27, 2020 They dubbed Laura as the most powerful hurricane to " EVER " hit the Louisiana coast with it's 150MPH winds , it made landfall at Cameron , Louisiana , as daylight comes video will start coming up of the damage and flooding it caused I was so lucky that the feeder bands just kept missing us over and over , we never did get much morethan 30 mph winds and really not much rain at all We lost power one time for 30 minutes yesterday , it was storm related but in a weird way , 1/2 block from my house there was a tree cutting boom truck clearing trees along the power lines in prep of the storm , the bucket truck hit the power line and we heard it from our house , 3 seconds of high voltage " Buzzzzzzzzzzz " and the electricity went out , well , the electricity blow out the electrical system of the boom truck , truck killed with boom in the air and guy in the bucket , he was OK , the mechanic came out and I walked down there , he said it fried the controller and I could see the melted battery wires which he had just replaced and nothing worked on the truck , not even lights or the horn , he told me every fuse in the fuse box was blown , they called in a wrecker to haul it off 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just went to the store , the truck that got hit was moved yesterday , I need to take a pic of the ground under where the truck was parked , I would guess where the battery box was , the black top is all burnt in a two diameter circle , looks like a lightning strike hit , one of the workers was picking up pieces of something off the ground ----they are out there again today , hope they are more careful this time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
