Fire Ants Season is back!

/in /by

 

Fire ants can inflict painful stings and create unattractive mounds in your landscapes and there is no know treatment that will eliminate them from a yard forever rather you will have to control them as required. A variety of products and methods can be used against fire ants including baits, dusts, granular applications and organic controls including home remedies. Home remedies include pouring boiling water into the ant hill, this may kill 75% of the ants but will likely kill any grass and plants near the scalding treatment. Do not use gasoline to control fire ant control, yes it will kill the ants but this attempt is dangerously flammable and will kill grass and other plants, and pollute the soil. As a side note, fire ants are outstanding predatory insects, and yards with these guys usually have less insects such as fleas, chinch bugs and borers.
