i am currently maintaining four beehives, they are all perched on two pieces of cinderblock each. all of the feeders (on the top of the hives) are being infested with (carpenter?) ants, which drown in the syrup and it appears the bees do not want to eat the syrup in that condition.
so i am wondering is it possible to use those little containers of advion (indoxacarb) to kill the ants? i know indoxacarb is toxic to bees, but the openings of the containers are large enough to let ants through but small enough to prevent bees from going through.
eta; also one feeder has some kind of larvae in it, i think its maggots?
