Attacked by ants

I mix it using warm water, the powder dissolves completely and doesnt block the nozzle at all, learnt the hard way though (like always).
didnt realise it is toxic to fish & reptiles. have never had to worry about them, the only fish that come here are going to be cooked and reptiles are uninvited

Well I find it great for ants and cockroaches but I can't seem to get rid of the snakes and geckoes from my aviary but because I can't actually buy it in the Philippines I ration it to 3 times a year which isn't enought for control I suppose but it's better than nothing.

best cure for snakes as far as I'm concerned is a 12 gauge, no idea what you could do about the gecko's though

Coopex is great. I went from ant city to none.
Bought my sachet from the local hardware store so you should have no trouble finding some in SA cranberry.

That's how we did it on the farm Mick.

The worse thing was walking through the Aviary and getting to the back & find the slither marks in the sand and know your not alone

Ants are taking over my avairies and backyard atm, looking for water and such, so thought it would be a good time to finally buy some coopex, paided $9.95 at my local stock feed shop. il spray the buggers 2moro!!! since i only have 2 avairies should i use half the powder?? or blast them with the whole sachet???
