Well, the ants are bad this year. Just saying.
Are his aunts ok?
When I was a kid, we used methods that would get us locked up today.
Latest Darwin Award nominee?
My Daddy used to kill fire ant beds by pushing a pipe down the middle to maybe a foot depth. He would the pour a pint of so of gasoline down the hole and light it.
It seemed a pretty classy was to do it and it worked.
Me I just put a spoonful of Ortho on the mound then wet it. That works also.
Not sure which works best but Daddy’s system just might but I think it is more expensive.
You can keep fire ants out of your yard but it is a full time job or at least one you have to constantly watch for them.
Yes ... Because Martin Luther King Drive.
OK, who among us hasn’t....never mind....stupid, it burns.
Glad he is OK, but how are the ants? Any word on casualties?
Sounds like liberals supporting SSM.
They only wanted to do the world
a favor by burning the Christians

Hell, I do crazier stuff than this all the time, 2nd degree burns hardly rate a news article.
That’s why you use diesel to burn pesky critters up. Had a hornets nest on a old shed we were going to demo, no exposure issues. Stuffed some diesel stuffed rags around the next at night and lit them using a long stick. Waited a minute or two and doused it with a couple garden hoses. Only used 100% organic materials to do it. ;)
damn fire ants!!
I had a half-acre lot and the back 25% was loaded with fire ants that had mounds 1-2 feet high. I always was getting stung by the ants when using my line trimmer back there.
About every two weeks I would take an old broom stick and open up the hole, put in a large plastic funnel and pour gasoline in the mound. I’d wait about 10 minutes to allow the gas and fumes to spread through the huge network of tunnels the ants build below ground. ......Then, I’d take a box of kitchen matches out there and toss lit matches into a couple of the holes.
There would be flames shooting out of mounds that I hadn’t even dosed! Did this throughout one Summer and most of the ants had moved on... or died. Amdro was useless.
Reminds me of the genius several years ago with mice entering the walls of his house. He found their outdoor nest and set it afire, whereupon the burning mice ran into his house walls and burned down his house. The firemen got quite a kick out of his explanation.
