S4:E06 Ants and Termites

The Garden Thyme Podcast

Hey Listener,
In this month's episode, we are talking about two common household pests: ants and termites. While both live in colonies and can enter our homes, they have very different lifecycles and social structures. Some of them are nuisance pests, while others can cause damage to our homes. This episode will cover how to tell ants and termites apart, their life cycles, and control methods ( Ants ~6:45, Termies ~19:10).
We also have our:

• Native Plant of the Month - Wild mint (Mentha arvensis)- ~ 24:25
• Bug of the Month – Golden-backed snipe fly ~ ~28:30
• Garden Tips of the Month - ~31:30
