preach4bass Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Those are great! ;D I hate fireants. > It seems like every time I get around them, a dozen get in place, then one gives a signal and they all bite at once. I've never tried Ortho, but I do pour a half a gallon of gas on their mounds and "light them up." I get a lot of joy from hearing their little bodies cracking in the open fire! Quote
Super User Micro Posted September 20, 2009 Super User Posted September 20, 2009 "All they do it build a big mound in your yard and bite the hell out of anyone that gets near it." ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 20, 2009 Super User Posted September 20, 2009 No fire ants here either but I'd love for Ortho to make something similar for moles...... > Quote

Thats does work but like the flamethrower against laws in the city I just remember my first run in with those things was a fam party, had a beer in my hand, stopped to talk to someone and stopped right on a mound which had been knocked down shortly before I came in so they were all out swarming around. I could not believe how much that hurt. If I could kill every fireant in the state of NC, that still would not be enough. Quote
looking4structure Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 That was a great commercial.Fire ants are thick here in TX. Quote
frogtog Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Fire ants are here to stay, if there was a cure for them they would have stopped them before they crossed the border. ;D Quote
Stasher1 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 glad we don't have them up here. Just wait. They'll make it up there eventually. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted September 21, 2009 Super User Posted September 21, 2009 To all that posted we don't have them...They will be there shortly. Enjoy it while you can. You don't kill them, you just force them to move to your neighbors place. When he treats them they move right back under the fence. Quote
Olebiker Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 That stuff really works well on fire ants, but I think its effectiveness has to do with how bad it smells. The ants commit suicide because they can't get away from the incredibly bad odor from that stuff. I used to use Amdro, but it seems that the fire ants just moved their colony a few feet away and kept on breeding. Quote
seyone Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 glad we don't have them up here. Just wait. They'll make it up there eventually. I can only hope you are wrong. Quote
Pitchinkid Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 man thats great stuff right there Quote
Stasher1 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 glad we don't have them up here. Just wait. They'll make it up there eventually. I can only hope you are wrong. They're steadily moving north, just like the armadillos. If you're the impatient type, I could toss a scoop of them in a padded envelope for ya... Quote
seyone Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 mighty kind of you to offer, but I think I'll pass. Quote
