I had a bad experience with fire ants but didn't know that black ants bite, too. Is it a special type of black ant? Glad you're anti-poison ivy!

I watered things in front, talked to my neighbor for a short while and then I had to get inside. Take care you two. L.

The first few years we just couldn't get rid of them. Then one summer we dug up all of the juniper bushes along the front of the house, and replaced them. We must have destroyed their "housing" at the same time because they didn't come back. Just a lucky break for us, I'm sure.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412341664506380343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-44076917602195446952021-06-10T07:30:34.492-05:002021-06-10T07:30:34.492-05:00Fortunately where I live now, we don't have an...Fortunately where I live now, we don't have ant problems.
