Hello Travis, and a welcome to the forum where you will find lots of tips and advice.
I am at Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast where I use 1/2 cup of table salt, a cup of cleaning white vinegar to a watering can of water with the shower rose on the spout and drench under and for about a metre out from the hive to control weeds and SHB burrowing into the soil in its reproduction cycle.
Having the hive legs in an oil solution will be a big help but I can’t see a benefit in vinegar soaked into the soil doing much really. I look for ant nests in the grass and sprinkle ant dust that I buy from Coles and within a week the ant nest is dead, the bees show no interest in the ant dust at all.
Ants and SHB are my biggest problem here.
Cheers
