Ants have been excavating a vast cavern beneath my patio. Short of resorting to mass slaughter, which I am reluctant to do, have you any suggestions for discouraging them? Unfortunately they also invade my bedroom which is just beside.

hi gerry, our street has about 6 silver birch trees, all around 20-25 yrs old . no troubles until now, but this year they are infested with white and green flies, we park under these trees and there is a sticky coating and flies all over the cars every day. the trees are as high as the houses--2 stories--so no chance of spraying!!. can you advise --or will a severe frost in the winter take care of the problem if we wait it out? thanks grerry.

the tree went in two years ago as a whip, had seven fruits last year and is very vigorous, with much blossom and beginnings of fruit this year. but now single branches have wilted and died, initially the lowest couple but now higher in the tree. i think it might be verticillium disease but can't find what to do about it - any suggestions?
