That's some good info Patriofarmer, I will have to give those a shot, as I am always battling ants somewhere around the homestead....another method that I have had good luck with is to use Antrol poison (in the little green bottles) and mix it with a little sugar on a chunk of tinfoil. The sugar draws them in and they take the poison back to the nest, thus killing the queen bitch. Depends on the ants though, some don't seem to have any interest in it. Anyways, I agree with the others, use the pruning sealer to keep that sweet sap inside for the buds to use. Once its sealed up, the ants will probably lose interest. I would spray all the bastards you can find until they go away, however. Good luck!!
