Earwig’s are my issue this year.

My question is I have an ant problem in my bee hive. I have dusted it with cinnamon but it’s not working. Can I place those contained plastic traps that have ant rid bait inside . It is poison but it is enclosed . Is it okay ? It’s designed for the ants to get lured in there . The bait is inside a circular white self contained disc. . Cheers. Dee

Worked very well but ants are industrious little suckers. They’ll use any tall grass and even spider webs as bridges.

They hate the stuff and I’ve used it several times to run the whole mound off. My MIL says it’s invasive, but may be an excellent replacement for grass around the hives.

I lost several hundred bees in the first 24 hours (before I noticed), and they were still crawling into the oil as I was removing the containers. I’ve used water before with far less tragic results.
