Fire Ant Control

Easiest way to access the archives is google: http://tinyurl.com/o9sy . Type "fire ant" and choose "Search only in austin.gardening" . Personally, I've spread some Logic, which is like birth control for fire ants. If you're having trouble with them in one particular place, you might try mixing brown sugar and boric acid 50/50. (If you can't find "boric acid", look for "RoachPrufe"; same thing.) Put some in a bottle cap or jar lid; the ants seem to like it better if you put just a drop or two of water on it. Good luck! Dale Just as an aside, boric acid is boron and is contaminating to soil and can be detrimental to soil organisms, so be careful not to use it in that way. Inside the house it's a great product, but soil can easily be toxic after that is used in too high a quantity. V |
