Had a problem on the property here last year with fire ants and soil gnats, The greenhouse went up in the fall so no problems there yet Is there anything I can safely use in the greenhouse to try and keep these things out? ( We usually have a large "ladybug" population around which does a great job on any scale & mites and would like to find something that wouldn't impact them)
Thanks.

Hi, I have a 1700+ sq ft greenhouse and am also a state certified nursery in Florida where fireants are King.
I have a Fireant Certification from the state and it requires me to treat my plants and my greenhouse space every 3 months. I have to use stuff from a list that the stste of FL USDA gives me. I use Amdro. It works. I have also used Orthene Ant Killer. It works too, but it smells bad. Really bad.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably try the Orthene to start with and take it from there.
Hoping our winter may have knocked them down a bit but not betting on it.
