I hope they ALL die and burn in hell. No mercy. No pity. Just DIE!

Once killed a giant mount by first setting fire to it so they all came out, then leveled it and then some by hosing it for a good 20 minutes in the cold.

They never came back.

They just moved to either part of the yard

Not even close. I use nematodes. You do not get the satisfaction of committing genocide via poison, but rather genocide via a zombie apocalypse. The nematodes lay eggs in the ants and the larva erupt from the heads of the ants when they hatch( a lot like Phorid Flies) the whole time the eggs are growing inside the host, the ants stagger around without direction until death. The larvae grow and reproduce and keep your yard clear for years. They also control June Bugs( by getting them in the grub stage)

THAT is how to eliminate the little bastards.

What's the application rate, cost/acre?

I have not really kept track of the cost. I want to say that the packets are around $15-20 and we will use 3 or 4 packets a year. The best results are to use them when the ground is wet, and to turn a sprinkler on when it starts to dry out. That covers about 1.25 acres of the fenced part of our yard. I think we used more to start.

Well you could do the molten aluminum casting thing on them. Pretty neat idea. YouTube it.

I wasted some time watching those videos. I like it for 2 reasons:
1) molten aluminum killin ants
2) thinking about ants being killed by molten aluminum
3) dig up the aluminum and recycle it on another mound (it's the right thing to do)

Hey, he might be thinking about using Pabst Blue Ribbon cans. That would confirm him as a redneck.

 

[Mike1234567]

Amen, brother. Kill the shite out of all those little mutherfukkers!!

Little basturds. They gotta clean out tunnels from the rain so they gotta build up the mound.


I graciously gave them, their family, their kids, and their bitch queen a big ole dose of nerve poison.



I completely, without doubt, old testament.....hate, despise, loath...



Fireants.


Sorry good for nothing, dirt dwelling, assholes. I got your number, motherfu*kers. Get you sum of this granular love.


Don't think about ice water...cause they don't serve it in HELL.

I refuse to listen to your deceitful lies. Hoji's nematode trick warms the cockles of my heart.

If you refuse to listen, then why reply?

By the way, a "cockle" is a small edible saltwater clam.

What's that got to do with nematodes or fire ants?

There is no deceit when the truth rules supreme.

Be well.

If you have cats and dogs, fire ants are your best friend.

Fire ants devour ticks and fleas.

Dogs and cats only step on a fire ant mound once (while children do so over and over).

I pray for rain to sprout fire ant mounds. Have never had a flea or tick problem ever.

Now, if you've got fire ants in your vegetable garden, here's the solution:

Mix 1 gallon of hot water, two ounces of citrus oil, and two tablespoons of molasses and some urea (Urine --as much as you can provide).

Mix well and pour over the mound.

The mound will collapse within 15 minutes, and any surviving ants will be consumed by the microbes in the soil that the drench activated.

Fire Ants are not as bad as their reputation suggests.

Be well.

Every time we get a heavy rain the ant hills pop up.
I got some good liquid killer that I mix up called Bifen I/T and it does a great job
of killing off nests in about 15 minutes.

You screwed up the last step. It should be:

3) polish, mount to a burl walnut base, and deliver to art gallery for sale to deluded hipsters at a ridiculous profit.
