I have a huge mound -- almost knee high about 15 to 18 inches next to my
garden -- I have tried Amdro and it did not seem to have any effect -- these
guys are mean -- I've fought with them before - gotta wear boots in the
summer to safty walk in the garden and gloves are a good idea to reach down
and pick something like squash. "Seven" dust works for awhile but obviously
isn't getting rid of the colony.

HELP PLEASE!!

I recently got rid of a pretty large colony. Not as big as yours, but maybe
10 inches high and 16 inches in diameter.

I waited until a sunny mild day and poured about 6 gallons of boiling water
into it. After the first gallon or two I dug a pit in the center of the
mound to help concentrate the rest of the water. I must have gotten the
queen because in about 4-5 days, the nest was totally dead.
