1. identify the ants (telling me their color is not enough). You can
bring some to your nearest agricultural extension office, or send me a
sample (about 10 ants) in some hand sanitizing gel, in such a way that
they will not be sqaushed. Send to: Dr. John Warner, 11719 Timbers
Way, Boca Raton, FL 33428
2. tell me the city or zip code you live in
3. please read this section about "chemicals":
