Help with ants!!!!

Donald-  I just pour 1/2 cup of gasoline on top of the mound and then cover with a piece of plywood for 5 minutes.  Set a match to it and if I see flames coming out of all the other mounds, operation is a sucess. Enviromentally friendly. No residue except for the 1000's of carbon specks going back to the dust from whence they came.

I going to try the Lorsban, Donald- my permit is good for 2 more years.  I didn't know Lorsban existed. For those not familiar  with them -the fire ants are aggressive , mean little devils that will cover you up if you stand in the mound long- like when distracted .Then after they have crawled up your legs they will bit/sting . I have had them destroy bird nestlings too. Or just throw down a piece of food or chicken bone near and it will remind you of the piranha fish .Thanks again!!        judy

I had my 2 rows in the front yard tilled, and limed, then put black plastic to let it set. yesterday i went to pull the plastic and cover it with an old sheet (cheap mans weed berrier)

stinkin ants in the entire rows- I soaked it in a whole large can of lighter fluid, sat 20min then light it up. after it burned out, there were still some comin out a few mounds, so i dumped the rest of my seven seven, and put the sheet over it. i was gonna put my corn down , but ill have to wait another day...

The DE is pretty much a berrier, they dont like it, but it doesnt wipe out a colony.  I think i will mix the DE in water and spray it everywhere as a preventative measure.

I used all the Amdro I had the other day. Although I try to stay as organic as I can, I can;t control the damn things otherwise. then today I was looking where I wanted to planted my onion starts after being inspired by Donald.. What happened but 9 million fire ants come boiling up as soon as I touched the place I was going to plant onions.
