Picture of an Y-tong nest

Beitragvon ratgreen » 7. Mai 2008 17:11

ahhhhhhhhhhh bad news, i saw some workers outside of the ytong so there must be a gap they can get through, what should i do as i want to fill it in with sillicone, but i cant because of the risk of fumes and i can't just leave it open forever. at the moment i have put some duct tape around the outside so no more can get out, but what can i do?

They made a hole into the y-tong ? Put some cotton in it.

This happend to me when my messors had their first y-tong, I used a hot glue gun to seal a hole. There are less fumes caus it just melts the soft plastic to an almost liquid state, without burning it. I use this for fixing most things that contain ants with out problems. :idea:
