Depends if what you are serving with it. If Amdro, I would recommend hot tea.

Um………scones, jam and clotted cream? I don’t think these are British ants! LOLAll I know is that they are the most annoying thing to be found here in America, along with mosquitos!

and a product? called cowtown! : D

Can promise you they are a problem just north of I-40 in West Tennessee.

yeah, that would be almost as far north as nashville…. i’ve only seen one mound in nashville, so compared to houston, i can’t imagine it’s a huge problem.
