Help with fire ants!!!

[ZEROPILOT]

It doesn't rain here from about March or April through November or December. I mean not one drop. I put the DE out two weeks ago and its still bone dry and powdery. The ants just moved it out of their way and have continued on about their business.

I like your idea of bait stations. I'm going to give that a try.

Yeah.
Just place them and forget them.
Mine are laying sideways slightly angled downwards so that they are relatively rain proof.

When I lived in Texas, we just used grits. Sprinkle them liberally on and around the pile...and the ants will eat it. After they eat it, it expands in their stomachs and they die. It isn't an instant cure, but if you sprinkle all of your piles at the same time, you will knock them out fairly quickly.

Definitely going to give the grits a try! Thanks for Info!
