I used to live in Round Rock Texas and had fire ants really bad until the old farmer down the road told me that all you need is a shovel...and he was right. You dig up a couple shovels full from one ant mound and dump it on another. After about three days there will be no ants left. Each mound will fight to the death. It worked for me and I probably had 20 mounds of them.

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.

Ain't no way I'm gonna waste my grits on fire ants

40 years in FL. orlando i use gas poor it slow right in the middle of hill , let the gas work it way down , then 2 min later light it you will see the hill burn and smoke come out of all mounds that are part of there hive ps 8 to 12 oz of gas works great
-
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!!
-
Few gallons of boiling water. Hit water dissolves glue holding mound together and kills enough to usually take mound out
-
I'm in s. Louisiana & I knock away the mound that's above ground & then pour boiling water into the nest. I watch it for a few days to see if anymore mounds appear, if they do then more boiling water is added. Its been working for me for years.

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.

Fire ants with crawl on your legs, but won't immediately start stinging. Once there's a couple of hundred on you, the leader blows a tiny bugle. THEN , they all start stinging at the same time.
-
I use a product called Amdro it is similar to the first one you described. It works within 24 hours.

Gas-O-LEAN Gets'em

I moved to NM two years ago. You're absolutely correct. This is the only product that works to eliminate the colony. Great video.
-
I've used atomic weapons with some success... got most of them fire-breathin ants but still dealing with the uncles.
-
Thanks, Just ordered for my fire ant nightmare in deep south east Georgia!
-
I can speak from personal experience, Greg Key is correct. This stuff works. It kills the entire colony.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

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.

If you go to the Brookfield Museum in Chicago Illinois, they have a whole display of fire ants in a nest and they teach their school children about these things. They are all over Chicago Illinois now.
