You sound very busy! I saw a letter about fire ants written into a magazine from someone in North Carolina. She sprinkled grits around fire ant areas and the grits expand in their stomachs and they explode. I Know how important Gulfcoast’s grit crop is for breakfast food, but wondered if he’d ever tried this.

I have never heard of fire ants here in Eastern Washington.

You are very lucky. I thought I had the little boogers out of the yard...but somehow they came back. The Over and Out says they’ll be gone for a year, well... I never heard of fire ants until I came to Texas, we were lucky in our area until 1986 when we had some heavy rains and the Brazos river flooded into our 2 lower pastures. We’ve had them ever since. They eat anything protein. They’ve killed your animals, baby ground birds, they even killed one of my baby llamas. They are a terrible menace. I hope you never get them in Eastern Washington.
