Tis the season, hang a string of lights on that puppy and skip buying a tree. Which would mean that the fire ants did not die in vain, they “gave up their lives” to make our world greener. Take that you tree hugging morons.

I'll have to remember that if I ever have horse property again. Fire ant beds near a corral is not a good thing.

In south Georgia, you sit down outside without looking for fire ants first - just once.

Same in south west Florida...........

Me too. The metallurgy of the cast is hard for me to accept. Certainly different than, say, a bronze cast. But then I not a metallurgist.

I’m going to start saving up beer cans to melt down. I hate those little SOB’s and would LOVE to see them die horribly in the name of entertainment and art!

I don’t know, just watched them do it. (I hated algebra, that damn X was never the same thing twice...)

I wonder what it would look like if you did the same thing to a Democrat rathole. Not that I’d ever advocate such a thing ... it would be a waste of aluminum.

"He is selling it on Ebay. Current price $4,550..wow"

Ebay removed the listing. I guess too many complaints from the bleeding heart liberal moon bats.

I've got fire ants out the gazoo in the backyard. Already looking into getting an aluminum smelter. Maybe sell the art on craigslist.

Exactly! Something is fishy about this.

I think there’s beauty all the way around on this approach. Not only does it kill ants without insecticide chemicals getting into the ground water, but the result is a beautiful piece of art. Win win win. And it makes money -— win win win win.

And all these tree hugging libtards are just creating even more of an awareness & market for this kind of thing. 5 wins.

Yeah, I thought it was a neat idea. I’m kinda jealous of not think of it. I simply used gasoline or fed them rice.

I hear feeding them grits works... I would love to see the fire ant tree after that. Dang, this is a business. Almost makes me want to have fire ants in my back yard.

Now, what can be done along these lines for gophers?

Heh... You are gonna need a backhole to lift up that.

But, if ya give them time, gophers can terraform.

I have an idea for another anti-pest product. For gophers.

My wife’s neighbors have dogs on either side, and she doesn’t have dogs. So the gophers come over to her lawn, staying away from theirs. We’ve tried gas, poison, high frequency sound, all kinds of stuff.

What she needs is a programmable electronic pet dog that will occasionally bark, move around the lawn, even insert an high frequency sound rod into the ground to disrupt the gophers, make them think there’s a predator walking on their heads. She doesn’t want a real dog, she’s allergic.

When my oldest was still in diapers, we taught him to avoid fire ants. He was always good about it until one day he didn’t see one in the flower bed and sat down on the edge. Oh, the blood curdling screams! I knew immediately what happened and threw him in the bathtub, diaper and all. Poor little bottom...
