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....
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.
