please note appropriate snipping

All you're doing is disrupting
the mound. If you disrupt a fire ant mound, they will move the

You are not, I repeat, *not* killing a single fire ant.


And putting food (as you claim) around a mound, disrupts it how.

shrug Ask the ants. Or ask the experts.

Have you ever done as I suggested and googled for
information on the behavior and life cycle of fire ants?
I would really like to know what it is you think you're
accomplishing when you those facts in hand.

Hint: Nary a grit makes it to the queen.

I don't know how to get rid of them short of digging up tghe whole yard and
repl;acing it. My mother has them very badly in her yard adn weve had them
for years there.
