Bundesrat of Germany. The German Bundesrat (literally Federal Council; pronounced [ËbÊndÉsÊaËt]) is a legislative body that represents the sixteen LÃ¤nder (federated states) of Germany at the national level. The Bundesrat meets at the former Prussian House of Lords in Berlin.
Carpenter ants are the largest of the house-infesting ants. Workers within the colony range in size from about 3/16 to 5/8 inches in length. Color varies among species, although black seems to be predominant. Carpenter ants, like termites, tend to prefer wood that is partially decayed by wood rot.
To prevent carpenter ant colonies from establishing in cedar mulch, keep the mulch no more than 2 or 3 inches deep and stir it frequently throughout the season. Avoid using cedar mulch directly adjacent to structures, leaving a gap of at least 6 inches. Keep mulch at least 3 inches away from trees.
