I've seen that - big red bag, all the farm and ranch stores and big
nursurys have it as well. It is rather specific - does hurt other
things, but not as much as some stuff. Amdro is good, but also deals a
blow to birds.

The stuff we used was in a blue/white bag. Still can't remember the name,
but it did work. You have to water it in immediately after spreading it,
then not allow pets and kids on it until it's dry. My kids don't go in the
back yard much, but if they did I wouldn't have let them back on it until
after a good rain or a good watering.

Well, I have to admit it was something my brother said. I guess he could
be wrong, or confusing it w/ something else. Guess I'll have to check a
package next time I'm at the feed store.

Amdro.


There's a new(er) product that my husband got last year, and it

eradicated

the ants for MONTHS. It's such a big help, I know, that I can't

remember

the name, but I need more and I believe they have it at HOme Depot, so

I'll

let you know when I get some. It's granules that you put on with a
spreader. It probably kills everything else in the yard too, which I

hate,

but I HATE FIRE ANTS MORE!! So!

Ants don't like it if you put slices of cucumber near their favourite
places. Steph

One of the most effective ways is to invest in beneficial nematodes.

We just moved to a new place this month and my SO has put all her potted
plants in the yard just like she had them at the old place.
For some reason the ants have attacked only one of these, (some sort of
caudiform she says). They have invaded the pot, and it looks like
displaced half of the soil outside the pot, replacing it with...? Ants?
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
