RogerDat 3,475 Posted October 21, 2017 Says it is no longer made, next time take it to a repair shop. $149 is a lot to trash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what will happen after the warranty is expired? I don't see service centers; I sent back to Rustan's but they don't seem to know about the whole procedure.

rep1 2,142 Posted October 24, 2017 If I seal all of current exits of the colony, would they stop coming or they would just find another hole? I'm growing inpatient - 2 days for this colony already and even though most of them have gone a few are still walking with no sign of malfunction. A lot of drops made, most untouched. They're into something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Large brown and black ones are quick to fall, and black jumpy ants are few not building nests. The small brown ones are hardest I killed several groups already and sealed their homes and flooded with poison. They are the ones always looking for new nests and killed my kettle. Maybe I could build homes for them and kill them there? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In which case i expect you will be seeing a lot more ants ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Finnish vodka for cleaning, cheap and taste good and don't get half frozen like Absolute. will try a drop on next colony. might be fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rep1 2,142 Posted October 27, 2017 How long can they live without their colony? I sealed the last one and kept a group alive to search for new holes that I can block. They made no progress tonight. Should I kill them or just let them run around until death?? They don't look tired or hungry despite no food, just keep going forth and back and talk to each other.
