Default fire ants! Argh! Best treatment method?

You will. The closer you are to housing developments the more likely
your are to get them. They come in on straw and plants, though efforts
to stop them has some success in slowing the infestations.

I've noticed more mounds after our most recent rains. So....what's
the best way to get rid of these, and to help prevent future mounds
from appearing? I know I won't get rid of all of them, all the time,
but I'd like to keep them at bay as much as possible.

Any (sensible) suggestions?

Thanks!
