[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 190138, member: 12214"] 8-24-13: [B]Ant hills! [/B] Yes, even in upstate New York we get pretty big ant hills. They don't occur all over, but there are a few places around here that can get some rather substantial-sized ant hills. No matter what people do to eradicate them, they come right back in the same area. Typically, the more established ant hill colonies are at least 18" high. Here are some that I photographed today. These particular ant hills were nonexistent at the beginning of the summer. I never noticed these two colonies before. They seem to be relatively new. You can get an idea about how big they are by the vegetation around them. [B]They come in Pairs[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]49230._xfImport[/ATTACH] These three ant hills are new this year. The ants in these colonies moved from the three colonies that are about 500 feet down the road.
