Sorry, but it makes me speechless, that you are all get in a flap because of something written by Merkur, who is a well known troll in the German forums. (Yes, he was a researcher, too. That's why his behavior is a real shame!) Merkur is not a member of this forum here, but he is making a lot of fun of it in the German "Ameisenportal" forum. His favored victim is drtrmiller because he do not like his products. The funny thing is, that he had never tested even one of this products.
So calm down everyone and ignore what Merkur is writing. He is just demanding for attention as he do in the German forums for over a decade now. He only brought conflicts and disturbance to them. And if someone criticzises him for doing this he always says: "I am the expert! Do not criticzise me or I will leave the forum!" Meanwhile he is only active in the "Ameisenportal" forum. And believe me when I say, that the members of the other forums are very happy that he has left this forums! Now they are better places.

How many German ant keepers do know, so that you can give such a generalized statement about them? You once told me, that you are scientist. If you are in Germany an see one black ant. Are you then going back to Belgium and publish: "In Germany all ants are black!"?
I know no Belgium ant keeper - and even if I know a few - I would never give a generalized statement about all the Belgium ant keepers as you do about the German ones. But I know many German ant keepers. And so I know, that you are absolutely wrong! You defame all the German ant keepers. Shame on you!
Futhermore I read most of the publications of Merkur (Buschinger). And so I can say, that he had nearly no influence on the "German way" of keeping ants. But you can correct me by giving us a lot of examples!
