Frosty Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Pretty cool I'd sure hate to be pouring molten metal into an ant hill and discover there was damp soil down there. I've seen a couple examples of casting them with I think a two part resin or plastic (I don't recall) those hives were huge, two story house size and took days to excavate. This is all cool stuff, thanks for the link. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 We're always trying to kill off ants but they are really a very beneficial little critter, just look at how the aerate the soil, much better at it than I am. I don't mind them as long as they stay out of the house and don't kill my baby tortoise or box turtles when they are hatching. And, yes, I do realize that some species are invasive, destructive and are just not right for the local environs where they have taken up residence and that they do pose risk to livestock, native species and humans.(Sorta like Africanized Bees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Great video's, both! Laertius you avatar caught my eye- I have an old 68 Chevy stepside shortbed I been working on and driving for about 10 years now. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
