Well, the best way is to make them move without killing them because in reality,
they are great soil aerator insects. If you want to kill them, you can use
Logic, which is a bait they eat and eventually it will kill the mound in a week
or so. There is also molasses mixed with manure tea, or compost tea you can buy
by the gallon at the Natural Gardener www.naturalgardeneraustin.com or any
number of ways using orange oil, etc.

Hi,

This may have come up in the newsgroup earlier. What is the
safest way of getting rid of fire ants? BTW how do I access
the archives for this newsgroup? Thanks.

Regards,
