Will work for a while until enough wind blown dirt sticks to the grease creating a bridge, or a blade of grass grows up above the grease ring creating a bridge.
Bees are bees and do as they please!

Boric acid is also used in suppositories and yeast infections.



It must work. I've never seen ants where these products are used.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I've already seen some of the tiny ants where I spilled some syrup...  I'll have to try the boric acid grape jelly thing...  How is it on toast, though?
