    Default Fire ants in the garden

    What pesticide are you using to control fire ants in your garden?

    I’ve got a few mounds that I need to convince to relocate elsewhere.

    If it is not right next to the plant take some boiled water pour half on mound then pour the other half after the waterways in mound are created

    Every time I use the bait they seem to just relocate a few feet plus this way you are not contaminating the soil in anyway

    I had one beside a row and soaked it in home defense just now. Was good ways away from plants

    Ive mixed permethrin in a bucket and poured it down the hill slowly. Three or four queens would come to the surface and die everytime.
