A lady friend I once knew played with petrol & got it on herself & was engulfed with vapour fire & burned to death. I suggest no one tries it under any circumstances ! It will also rarely kill the queen hide & the ants will reappear anyway. Someone told me to try a mix of borax & sugar, but I'm not sure if it works or not.

Seemingly the catch is that the vapour spreads at ground level, by the time you light the match you're standing in the middle of a cloud of gas. > > > -- > David Pilling > http://www.davidpilling.com/ > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php > http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
