Heello, today i was watering my tident maple thats been put in a bonsai pot, and i found a termite nest in the pot! it seemed fairly big, so what i did was i watered it with abit of termite killer to flush them out and put the pot just next to a black ants nest, i went outside an hour later and it seems ive started a war in my backyard all the termites seem to be leaving and the ants are taking their eggs with them so im proud of my army of ants in my backyard lol

That is some good biological pest control you have there. Well done.

What I would give to have had a camera on the 'battle field' to record the action !

Note: I have had problems with termites/white ants around my house in the past

Hi Stick

Don't be alarmed but termites are of a higher order - you have done the damage to their nest not the rabble of disorganized mini black ants.

The little blacks are an enemy but one that is easily contained by the superior intellect of the termite/whit ant.

After the world is over the Termites and the Cockroaches will co-exist in peace ... because they are smarter and tougher than anything else .. including bonsai enthusiasts.

Cheers for fun David

ants are smart in the way that if there is a termite nest near their colony they will wipe them out depending how big the termite colony is, ants know theyre way and stick together unlike us humans fighting and not agreeing which doesnt do much really, if i had put the pot next to it without doing the termite killer it just wouldve taken longer

Ok Stick
We disagree ... you can go for the ants I'll go for the termites(and cockroaches).

After all it is footy season

Cheers
