Ant Murderer!

I was nothing less than appalled when listening to your programme this morning.  I am sick and tired of hearing about the best way to kill things. I presume he was your guest, a Mr. Hodge, seemed almost excited when advising a listener on how to kill ants.  Describing how the ants take this poison down into their nest and it wipes the whole lot out.  If it wasn’t for ants, the human population wouldn’t even exist.  Why do many of you so called gardeners jump at every opportunity to kill anything living that you feel shouldn’t be in your garden.  I live on West Mersea and have a couple of acres.  I don’t use weed killers or any of your so called pest killers and apart from having to keep up with the weeds on the drives, have no need to use such chemicals on these creatures.  No wonder our bird population is not doing so well.  Wake up to nature and stop killing everything you feel gets in your way.  I spoke with a couple of friends this  morning who are also of the same opinion.  Julie.
