Red ants

[Parramore]

Diatomaceous earth -- this has worked wonders around our HQ and Cabin. Pouring gas in the yard is something to avoid. I got 20lbs of DE for $10. Poured on mounds (main entry hole) and away they went. Been two years now and they have not come back.

I leave mine alone but kill fire ants when found. I did get bit by one the other day and it almost changed my mind on that mound.

Yea red ants pack a wallop
While playing marbles as a kid I got stung near the you know what and , once was enough, but they still get a pass

They are industrious little critters. Saturday morning I spilled a pound or so of sweet feed on the ground when I was unloading my truck. I guess one of their scouts found it - an hour later there was a trail of harvester ants shuttling the stuff back to their nest about 25 yards away. They worked at it until they got every last bit. I leave them alone since we see horned toads occasionally

Super cool.

Thanks guys. I’m gonna try orthene powder first. I tried some big box stuff at the lake with no luck. If not gas will be next on the list.

This will take care of them, Guarantee !
I hated to kill my 2 mounds, but they were taking 2 lbs of chicken scratch every day. Almost like miniature raccoons.

Karate. Thank me later.

I haven't run across any insect that Orthene won't kill.

When I was a kid my oldest sister used gas but left a trail of gas to the can. It blew up and the blew the bottom off the can and sent it sailing like a frisbee. She stuck her hand up and it cut her ring finger off. We never found her finger and I can't remember what it did to the ants.

The best case yet for using DE!

Don't use poison or kill them, put your water hose on the hole and leave on for about 10 minutes. They will move.

You could always melt aluminum and pour it into the mound makes pretty cool art

Termidor is the way to go. I have eradicated many a mound with this product.

Boiling Water. Sprinkle sparingly the Ortho powder. Smells god awful, there gone couple hours.
