Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Another Mystery - Dead Coons

I HAVE been battling Texas Leafcutter Ants. I've been using Amdro Ant Block, the only product listed for Leafcutters.

It is a bait, almost identical to their fire ant bait (added sugar and soy oil).

When I treat the main nest I notice that "somebody" digs out the ant holes to get the bait. I placed a game camera and captured a possum, then a coon, then an armadillo, all in one night. So everybody in the woods wants a little bit of the bait.

So it is possible that the coons suffered from the pesticide. I am skeptical though as it is a weakly poisoned bait that doesn't even kill the ants for several days. And even then I have been unable to eliminate the little buggers.
