: I just occurred to me that I might not want to be sitting, for hours at a

: I hate ants.

: Best, David

I dumped a pile of WRC sawdust on a couple of fire ant beds and the ants vacated. I just happened to have a big box of cedar sawdust handy after sawing the strips for my yak. Smells good too.
