If they are odorous house ants what is the appropriate insecticide? I've 
been following tiny ants while they move larvae from one bush to another. 
They're amazing little creatures. Industrious.  They don't seem to be
living 
in the mulch because I've seen them crawling out of the bushes down the 
trunk with the larvae in their jaws.  I lose them when they get lose to
the 
bush they're moving to so I don't know if they're going up or under. I've 
put out Raid stakes in their path.
