I heard that ants hate talcum powder and will not cross over it.

Yes but that washes off creosote dosn't

I ended up getting the council pest control man a few years back after getting ants/flying ants in the house, (horrible!) he sprayed inside and out the following spring and no problem since.
To be on the safe side I use a spray called dethlac, it dries to a lacquer finish so doesn't wash away, just needs re-applying about once a month.

I have a barren plum, and I bought a replacement which I am bringing on in a container until it is stronger.

But now the barren plum has a single very large plum ,,,

Large outdoor roaches are abundant here, ugh. Fortunately the monsoon has been keeping them at bay...

Best wishes for many sales to all,
