   What works to get rid of ants and other bugs in irrigation controllers?

   We have had good success with both the Raid or Ortho ant traps that you find at your local hardware store. You will get about 2 weeks of so of control with those. Also, mothballs do a good job of repelling ants from even setting up shop in your satellites. I hope this helps.

   Glad you didn't say Cherry "flavored." I already wonder about you Big A.

   Have used the old mothball cure for over 30 years.........it still works as well as a pesticide and is easier and cheaper.

    BTW, moth balls used all year long help keep vermin, rodents, and small reptiles out (also).

    We had a wasp nest once and I stopped a guy from spaying Raid onto the nest. The nest was on the 220V terminals powering the clock. The wasps and the guy would have been killed! And once again I would have to dig a big hole on the course to bury him and his car and answer the question "Where is John"? "I don't know, he never showed up today and his time card is gone!",

    I've always used top choice in them. since they stay dry (electrical) it stays in them for a while.
