Fire ants here…misery too.
Cool trick, maybe it will work for the redants too. You have to have at least 2 mounds for it to work.
You take a hand trowel and scoop up part of one mound with ants. Quickly dump it on the other mound. It’s essentially an act of war and the two mounds will kill each other. You can keep doing that until the mounds have all killed each other.When you have one small mound left , then limited insecticide will finish them off.
Fire ants are bad at our lake property. I get rid of them this way to try and avoid insecticide getting into the lake… plus there is just something satisfying about them eliminating themselves.![]()
If this isn't a metaphor for humanity I don't know what is.
