I recently (two weeks ago) used "Over and Out" on my fire ants. I
followed the instructions and it helped, but they are not all gone.
You can try nematodes. www.yardgeek.com is one place to get them.
We had this same discussion in another group, and I went searching for
a nematode source. It says right on one of the sites that sell them
that they will not work on fire ants, but another gal didn't read all
the instructions before buying the nematodes. She put them on, and so
far they appear to have killed off her fire ants. Worth a try.

Speaking of fire ants....we're getting ready to drop "over and out" on our
new lawn (moved recently) and have been fighting scorpions as well (new
construction) . I have heard that diatomaceous earth around the perimeter
of the home with deal a blow to scorpions other arachnids and insects and a
friend recently told me she uses DE to fight fireants.

Anyone here used/had success with DE for fireants? Seems like it would be
non-toxic solution if it does....

cheers!
