AMT. (Formi'ca). To drive this insect away, dig up 

 its nests and haunts, and mix the earth with gas-lime. 

 To kill it, pour over the nest, at night, a strong decoction 

 of elder-leaves. To trap it, smear the inside of a garden- 

 pot with honey, invert it over the nest, and when crowded 



with them, hold it over the steam of boiling water ; or 

 turn a flower-pot, with its hole stopped, over the nest. 

 The ants build up into it, and the whole colony may be 

 taken away in a shovel. They may be kept from ascend- 

 ing standard and espalier trees, by tying a piece of wool 

 round the stems and the supporters. If fed with arsenic 

 and treacle they will feed freely, and not killed will 

 emigrate. With early forced peaches they are very 

 destructive, as they bite out the stamens and pistils before 

 the fruit is set, but a good feed of arsenic will effectually 

 drive them away. Those not killed will be driven away.

 to the downy heads of the seeds. Nat. ord. Composites
