Ain't no way I'm gonna waste my grits on fire ants
-
I can remember back in the 1970’s when we didn’t even have any fire ants in East Texas. Ohhh but they are here now.
-
I keep this come snd get it on my ranger. Everytime I see a mound and the weather is good I scrape the top off the mound snd sprinkle it on top. After a few days the ants are gone!!
-
Any mound I have sprinkled this stuff on, has become vacant within a week when I check back. Since I’ve been using this, I find myself chasing mounds around the yard less and less. In the past I felt the mounds just moved from place to place. Not anymore. I was suspect of the product at first but since using it this spring and into summer, I definitely don’t have fire any beds in my garden anymore. Just eliminating smaller beds within my yard. Nothing like what I was using before.
-
Use a cordless drill and a 1/4"× 24" piece of rebar to drill holes down into mound to disturb queen. Also you can get poison closer to queen
-
I can speak from personal experience, Greg Key is correct. This stuff works. It kills the entire colony.
-
I’ve used come and get it….they came and got it and it was lights out. 😵😵😵 👊🏼
-
I have used the bait, waited about 2 days then set the mound on fire so far so good. Never reoccurring mounds i have to do this mid august every year
-
Thanks, Just ordered for my fire ant nightmare in deep south east Georgia!
-
Good information - can you tell me how they know to wait for biting until at least 500 are on you and then they begin biting? Sneaky devils!
-
I am trying "come and get it 2" in my garden this season. Ants have become a terrible problem. I lost all of my potatoes to ants eating the stems and feeding on the sap. I just planted my okra and the ant do love young okra pods and flowers. The zipper peas will be planted soon and the ants "farm" the aphids. I think my back yard garden has become one huge ant bed.
-
Ants do have a social stomach where one eats until it cant anymore and the shares it with other workers.
-
The only thing about killing the queen, if fire ants are like bees, if the queen dies then the honey bees can create another queen by feeding royal jelly to a cell that has a bee larvae in it. They draw that cell out and then they have another queen bee! Bees are amazing creatures, and I’m pretty sure that ants aren’t far behind them!

Great garden!!! Wow really impressive
-
Thanks for the information! Many blessings ❤
-
Very helpful. Thank you!
-
My 15 year old has anaphylactic reactions so this was a product that I recently purchased. I just applied it and I'm hoping it really helps.
-
Definitely going to give this a try. Whatever I purchased a Lowes that I had to chase with water worked but the ants basically moved eventually. When I was a kid in Florida we had huge mounds in our backyard and my dad would just dump gasoline on them. That’s a “sure fire” way to kill the little buggers.

Thank you for the helpful information!

He speaks the truth. I’m 70 and grew up in South Georgia and these ants are the scourge. In the 60s we had this stuff, Mirex, killed them in hours. One teaspoon was it. Now it’s gone nothing comes close.
