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.

Of course, when your Dad did it a pint of gasoline cost a few pennies.

We used to use KNO3+ Sugar and set it off with a propane torch. The column of fire was impressive. The ant nest was glazed into a bowl shaped depression. The heat killed what ever wasn't incinerated. Today the police and the BATF would ave been on scene within the hour and all concerned parties would be in detention. Ahh the old days.

Classiest was to deal with fire ants.

It might be more expensive but since it involves fire it is, by definition, more fun. :-)
