Hi everyone.
I'm doing work on my house foundation and can't help notice there are some small holes inside the perimeter, holes for
ants to get in and out of the ground.
Now, since i plan on having an earthen floor of sorts, this leaves me a little worried.
The plan is to have a layer about 15-20cm (6-8") of tamped crushed stone followed by some form of insulation and the earthen floor.
While the tamped crushed stone will protect from rodent ingress, it will do little against the ants.
A plastic sheet will get punctured during installation so not very helpful.
A layer of clay won't stop the ants.
Maybe if i stabilize the base soil with some lime it will help.
People around here just pour a
concrete slab and be done. I resent this for many reasons.
Ideas, experiences, anything ?
