The latter is more effective against fungal/bacterial diseases. BUT they are both used primarily as PREVENTIVE measure, though they may keep certain diseases in check.

thanks! ill have to make a trip to agway this week

any idea on the sugar ant/fire ant problem??? they seem to be eating the terro like sugar

I don't know about fire ants but I know you can get rid of house ants by mixing 50/50 baking soda and sugar. They bring it all back to the hive and kill the queen

The sugar is actually good for them but the sodium bicarb...well they can't tell the difference but it is quite bad for them
