samuijimmy Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Mothers day present, not Thailand but maybe a Thai orchid? P.S. Why even though I resized to 800 vertical do my pics show up as thumbnails? DSC_1705--.jpg It's just the way you uploaded it.... when we click the image it opens up..... not a problem! (some of us use Picasa or flickr, which is why they don't have thumbnails! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 ah those horrible biting red ants! in the flowers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 ^^^ Leaf ants Jimmy! They have a very bad attitude & attack en-masse when even slightly disturbed. They don't have a venom as such but when they bite the same stuff they use to glue the leaves together gets into your skin and causes that burn. Apparently it is highly alkaline...which is like saying it's highly acidic although alkalines are the opposite of acids...but still cause a lotta pain and damage nonetheless...basic chemistry 101...same-same but different! I have found the best way to eliminate the pests is to use Baygon cockroack killer....comes in a green spray can....ahhh....chemical warfare at its finest! Kills the nasty little critters quick too...in seconds. Mind you test the spray on the flowering plants leaves first so's you don't also accidentally kill the flowers while killing the ants. If you try to cut the nest away with a saw or hedge clippers instead of using the spray they'll just run up your arm and ruin your day...when they bite they hold on. Your favourite mossie spray may work good too but for a fact the roach spray works best. Ya gotta get rid of em Jimmy...if you don't they'll continue to build nests and soon you'll have more nests than flowers & trees. Apparently they're very attracted to the various types of leaves which look like the ones on the flowers. Which also look like the ones on mango trees and other trees & bushes....you'll also find their nests in these too! That said they also like bird of paradise plants....latex trees...fake rubber trees...hmmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borax mixed with Sugar and water, kills the whole colony by taking back to the nest,.... ....not just the ones the sprays kill, I don't see them returning for months! Those were not in my garden! I am not sure if this was caused by ants or no see ems AKA sand flies.... this was my usually sexy leg last year.... itched like crazy for weeks... Here is a cosmos flower to help off set looking at my leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
