                I suppose animals have developed methods to rid themselves of parasites etc.
  I did read somewhere that ants do not like talcum powder, perhaps they just move away

                Yes - I remember hearing this before. I am surrounded by bird lovers and 'back to nature' people out here in the bush.

                That's really neat. I didn't know ants had that effect on birds.
