We have a flock of black runner ducks that graze our food forest on our acre of land in the middle of the Ventura oil field that are very healthy. So amusing.

Mix up some sugar, water, boric acid and a little honey - put in some bait stations and the worker girls will carry the bait to their queen - toxin builds in the queen and the colony collapses. No need for hazardous materials. Recipe at bottom of page.

We have a flock of black runner ducks that graze in our food forest, and provide us with eggs, and a lot of amusement. Their food includes our dead insect "waste" and minced squash from our ladybug culture. Consider Muscovy ducks if you live in a city, they don't quack and are very personable.
