Don’t take a nap under the tree out in the back yard.

Good idea. Put a few thousand in a flimsy paper container with a little rock and they’d splatter all over.

I was thinking some kind of spray or broadcasting device like a fertilizer spreader................

Will Houston get to send all the NOLA ‘refugees’ back home.
They will probably DEMAND to be returned now and New Orleans will pay them to stay while Houston pays them to leave.
Maybe load them all on those buses and ship them to CA.
Now FEMA can move all those ‘mobile homes’ to Texas.

I guess I don’t know the locations of the military bases of the various services. I was trying to channel my inner R. Lee Ermey. He was a Marine but I think that he would yell at you regardless of military branch if you were loafing.

Bull sharks regularly travel into fresh water. I have heard they are caught quite often in fresh water in Florida.
Several times over the decades they have been spotted in the James river in VA during summer.

That would be good too.
I think lead is in the picture.

Nothing new. Happens after every hurricane and flood, and the news media panic.

“Throw in some Dawn.”
I was thinking more in the direction of napalm, or at least borax mixed with ant poison - repeatedly.

“If it wouldn’t contaminate the surface waters, posin/spray the little biting critters.”
Uh, even if it would....
Either that, or nuke the site from orbit, just to make sure.

“I’ve tried these granular products for regular ants - after using the whole can I found no decrease in ants.”
That’s because you didn’t soak the granular products in oil, and then light them on fire once applied to the nest. I’m pretty sure that this is in the instructions. :>)

Only in the red, white and blue parts:

I wasn’t loafing. I just was ‘t raking, at the moment. Even the guy that got showered in dirt and ants didn’t yell at me. I think he was impressed that I yanked the weed.

Yep, me too. I had islands of floating fire ants all over when we had flooding. I broke them apart with a stick, and they all drowned.
