Don’t be so smug. What if fire ants mutate and evolve to a cold-hardy species.

You need to try out driver ants. I was sleeping and woke to two trying to get into my bottom and a couple at my eyes. They had just entered the tent and I was first.

Youtube has videos of folks using molten aluminum to destroy fire ant and yellow-jacket nests.

That’s the best method we’ve found too. Doesn’t take that much either. I think the fumes exterminate them all the way down into their tunnels.

Same way I found out I’m allergic to antivenom. It sucks!

I douse the mound with lighter fluid then touch it off. They don’t come back.

When I was in my 20s, I was playing golf on a course in northern Florida. I set my bag down on top of a nest (unbeknownst to me at the time.) When I picked the bag up, I was surprised to see all these ants swarming over it. I tried to "brush them off" with my gloved hand. I did not know about fire ants at the time--but I found out.
I had numerous welts and small pustules on the back of my hand, and boy, did they sting. Quite painful.
