KMS Woodworks on Aug 12, 2013Eradicating a whole nest / hill is pretty tough. I have read where digging out a few holes in the nest and filling them with baking soda then adding vinegar makes for a pretty effective "bunker buster" type bug bomb. You can also make a "tea" with pipe tobacco...and pout this nicotine water on the nest.Helpful Reply
