Bud in WV said: (quoted from post at 16:56:47 09/14/09) You definatly need to check it out with an expert but from your comment about the way it smells, it might be Orthene tobbaco bug poison that was standard issue in SC for killing fire ants. Smells horrible but it works. You just sprinkle about a tablespoon of the power *around* the ant bed. Next day most of them are dead. Judging from your handle, you've probably got fire ants. No danger of dogs & cats bothering it - smells to bad!
....probably another good reason to quit smoking *anything* that's had that stuff near it, too!
Yeah, unfortunately we have plenty of those rascially fire ants here in East Texas. But the silver lining to that black cloud is that we no longer have ticks & chiggers. I remember growing up in the 50's & 60's and getting covered with ticks & chiggers. So it's nice not having them anymore.
Bud, I agree with you and Davis about how badly Ortho Fire Ant Killer smells. I bought a can of it one time and it somehow got put in an old desk we had on the back porch, and forgotten about. It was there during the hot summer months, and we got to wondering what that horrible smell was on the back porch. It smelled like a cross between rotten eggs, cooked cabbage, and dirty socks. :D
We finally tracked it down to the can of Ortho in the desk.
After I got rid of it, the old wooden desk still smelled for a long time afterward.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
