Peg I suspect you guys have fire ants or are you too far north?  Those things devastated and made extinct quail where I grew up when the mirex wore off.

Son, what you talkin' 'bout.....fire ants? We got 'em by the ton.

They wiped out our quail.  There for a while you could get fire ant killer with Mirex in it ordering off Amazon.  Then the EPA caught it and stopped it.  I wish I had gotten some.  One pount will keep an acre clear of any fire andts for 3 years...after that mounds may establish but they die out for another 2-3 years.  I hear it's in Mexico...but you get in more trouble smuggling ant poison then cocaine....

What is the active ingredient that the EPA hates?

I say it often, and get in trouble most of the time when I do:  There is still a place in this world for DDT.

Rastus,

Look into a item called Regent (Fipronil) at your local area farm chemical supplier. It's expensive, but it only takes a couple of ounces for two acres. You can get it in granular form at places like Lowe's for $36 per bag. Two ounces mixed in a 50 gallon sprayer will keep the ants gone for a year.
