I just lost three cherished Cherry trees to ANTS! And the bastadards (the
ants, not the Cherry trees) are eating my Silver Maple.

I have a friend that is a professional pest exterminator. He came over,
sprayed the entire yard as if he were watering it, and for a week now I
haven't see ANY insects in the yard.

He couldn't treat the tree, but he did place bait for the ants. In one of the
holes he put some granule bait and later when I looked into the hole, I
observed an ant carrying a granule at a time and throwing it out of the hole.
I fixed his tiny posterior by screening the hole with fine mesh, the ants that
were in there can't get out, the ants that eventually return can't get in.
There is quite a pile of ants lying dead on the inside of the screen.

Otherwise, boom, all gone, the wonders of chemicals. Use them carefully,
prevent children, unsuspecting adults, and pets from contacting the area for
the proscribed time, and endeavor to limit the accessibility of wildlife to
the chemical agents.

Regards.
