We have 6 large mounds, the gardener sprinkled powder on 5 of them and I bought more powder this AM. We went out with flashlights last night and found a trail of them munching the last leaves off a rosebush. I sprinkled powder on the garden trails and more on the mounds. Our former tenant did not believe in using toxic products. Screw that! I'm looking for someone to fumigate the house AND the garden, we also saw a ton of cucarachas and some baby scorpions in the jardin.Elkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818766316084825938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9465120.post-82962321465974890832010-01-01T17:43:57.648-06:002010-01-01T17:43:57.648-06:00I swear it's Spring.
