Unhealthy Osage

[osage outlaw]

Here is an example of the carpenter ants living inside the wind checks of an osage tree.  I split this one up today.  It's the most ants I've ever seen in a tree.  Usually I smash them all with a hammer like a game of mini whack-a-mole.  There were to many for that so  I grabbed a torch and fried them all before they moved into my garage.

Clint either you have some really small wedges or a very big Osage tree

I've always wondered what it is inside Osage that attracts ants.

I think its just the secure location.  Nothing is going to get to them inside of an osage tree.  Except for a bowyer I guess
