Sue, you mentioned another solution, Move! I 'm glad I moved away from
fireants and termites, only the hardy live up here.

Susan,

Not that it would have worked in your case but we have killed them off
with
20 Mule Team Borax.

Just take a misting bottle and mist water on the ants outside the nest,
assumeing you see a dozen or so of them, then sprinkle on some Borax.
When
they lick it off each other in the nest and ingest it there is a reaction
that causes gas which they can't pass and their digestive system
explodes,
or so I've heard.

It does work. It's much less toxic than many poisons.

Another great one to put in the bank. I no longer live in the
same area. But one never knows when this type of information
will be necessary.
