Dust Control

I spend a bit of time cleaning up my cases and don't want to get dust or grit inside my dies.
So while the cases are waiting for the next stage, I cover them with paper towels.

I also cover them once they've got powder in them so insects or what not doesn't fall in.
Once I had a frizzled insect that went too close to the light bulb drop onto the powder hopper. I keep the cover on that now !

The day after I finished that batch above some ants decided to evacuate their nest including egg/larvae in the rafters above all over the reloading bench. Luckily it was all cleared off by then.

Douse the place with X-IT ANT or Ripcord.

Put some bait out which will get rid of them.

I thought they might have nested between the jarrah workbench and the plywood top then come out when I removed the bolts holding the press on. so was aboiut to put on some "ant sand".
But no, they were sitting in the rafter and I brushed off the fluff stuff there and no more have fallen down over the next few hours. Will report back whether its permanent or not.
It seems a general ant control program needs to start from the first day of Spring !
