Short of Nuking them nothing thats been done so far seems to have
gotten the souths fire ant population under control. There is stuff
out there thats supposedly safe, and thats what I use, unfortunately
unless the government does one massive applicaitn and covers the
entire area of the country to erradicate them, I doubt anything is
gonna work. I am fireant free for the most part, but each and every
year I apply Talstar PL and it does a bang up job, but its a no win
situation since the county does nothing in and along roadways, nor do
neighbors etc, so about all I can do is keep em at bay........but its
certainly nice not having all those mounds or being concerned about
fire ants
