I am quite familiar with the bayou area just to the east of Houston permeated with gators, water moccasins , nutria rats, and vermin of many distinct species . These areas are expanding into huge areas of coverage and we are gong to see some strange things in our populated ares.
Nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Civilian flamethrowers, now!
was that seen Chimney Rock and Post Oak? I lived in an apt complex there in the late 70’s - it was built on top of an ant hill - never COULD keep the ants out.
The naked jungle.
That’s got to sting!
Damn you, Donald Trump!
I’ve seen fire ants strip a dead lizard down to bones in just a few hours.
In Louisiana we are well acquainted with these little guys.
Whenever it rains heavily I see a few of these islands in the yard or street.
A more fun way to do it is to pour molten aluminum onto the mount, not only does it incinerate the buggers but you end up with a really cool one of a kind sculpture afterwards. But also a huge hole in your yard.
If y’all aren’t familiar with fire ants then you live in a pansy area. They real, they bite, it hurts (and I’m allergic to them). I hate them.
You can sprinkle uncooked grits on the mound and they eat the grit, swell up, then explode. Totally organic.
When my boys were little guys playing Pee Wee and other organized football leagues (before high school), many of the playing fields were public and didn’t get the kind of care a high school field got. They especially loved playing in the rain. We are in Florida and unfortunately heavy rains caused fire ant mounds all over the field to flood and end up in rafts of them like this picture. Getting tackled and hitting the ground in a raft of fire ants makes even gung-ho little athletes think twice about football in the rain!
Diatomaceous earth. That’s all that’s needed.
That’s where one of those Antifa patented flamethrowers would be right handy.
When mowing with our 54” deck, I turn the deck off, lower it, drive over the mound, shaving the top inch off it. Then back up and watch them come pouring out. Raise the deck to normal cutting height, turn it on, drive forward with the left of the three blades over the mound. After being batted around by the three blades casualty rates are high.
If after first shaving the top off the mound, one sees it has exposed a layer of larvae, I simply go back and forth over that with a front tire, turning it and mad ants into slightly muddy texture.
Also, one can take a flat shovel, shave the top off, quickly spray the surface and saturate the holes with engine starting fluid, then quickly put the dirt that was shaved off back on top, patting it down some to help seal in the ether.
But, actually, I think they are going to own the south sooner or later.
A little gas mixed with oil, a match and you get rid of a ton of them.
The hurricane probably all but destroyed real estate market down there.
Fire ants! Nasty sumbitches!
