There could have been 8,000 ants in the squirrel's nest. It was full of them . And I wiped out a colony in the garage that was about an "18 inch circle but which had a lot of outliers. Water diluted vinegar sprayed out of a bottle and the use of a push broom killed them. There could have been 8,000 of these in the garage . Massey got another colony in a nearby bush.
