So, Tom - exactly how would one go about certifying that it contains
beneficial nematodes and sugar ants....??  And, once the sugar ants have
killed off the fire ants, what would one use to kill off the sugar ants?
Sounds sorta like the rat/snake/mongoose thing.... (smile)

Seriously, great ideas, guys, and we'll give some of them a shot.

Thanks!
