We just moved to Tennessee (south of Nashville) from Minnesota and have never had to deal with these critters. I wanted to thank you for an excellent demonstration that I just completed. I'm certain that we saved $$ from calling an exterminator. Everything happened just like you said it would. I will be back to see you when the next 'surprise' pops up.
I'm so glad you said to wait till the ant mound is not active. I literally just stepped in a fire ant mound while mowing and was ready to drown them in killer 😆. I also came to see if I could use it on my whole lawn but I don't want to kill my grass so I'll get something to treat the whole lawn separately. Side note your son's face......I thought it was only my kids that thought everything manual and work related was "trash" 🤣😂🤣😂
Good job dad! Jr. will thank you later 👍! I'm going to try this. I just moved into a new house and my yard is covered with fire ant mounds. I got in my car this morning to head to work only to discover they are now in my car!!!! I gotta do something fast! These ants are giving me the he-be- gee- be's not to mention blistering bites! It has only been three weeks! They are Savages!
Thank goodness I found this channel! I’m a NYC gal that unfortunately got stuck in Florida and I’m completely overwhelmed. I have no idea how to keep up with fire ants. I have 2 huge mounds and I’m going to follow these instructions carefully. I’m going to wake up at 7am and do exactly what you did. I’m not afraid for me because I’d never go to the yard!😳😬 But I do have a large dog and I don’t want to see him hurt! I miss my apartment and concrete sidewalks so much!😭😉 Thank you so very much. I can easily follow the instructions on the video. Thanks again!👍🏻😊
dug my garden out tonight along the walls pulling the earth back and revealed holes in the brick work underneath , that houses colonies of ants So if you have them in gardens try pulling the earth back anywhere where earth meets wall and paving slabs I found 6 nests in about an hour and a half in fact about 8 nests Then when you find them use fair liquid with water in a pump spray bottle and it kills them in about 5 to ten seconds
I’ve had a fire ant bite me or whatever on the foot because i was wearing flip flops I can honestly say I’d rather go to nfl tryouts wearing sandpaper underwear then feel that pain again glad the only ones that got hurt were those nasty things
I use gasoline. 🤷🏾♂️ and they die immediately. I pour some right in the middle. Maybe this is wrong🤔 but I have been doing this for some summers now. after 5 minutes no activity from the ants. The next day I flatten out the mount and it's like it's was never there.🤷🏾♂️ Ok so update now that I care about my lawn 😆 I think I'm going to use another solution. I wonder if there is a way we can spread something on the lawn to prevent or kill the ants before the mount grows. I'll check out that video you talked about
Bermuda Grass Central they both take persistence...it's like whack a mole...you kill em and they pop up over there! But eventually we win the war with diligence. Papa used diazinon....of course anything that works the left takes it away from us.
There was also a real killer called Dursban if I’m spelling it right. I used to get mine at a Lesco wear house and they banned it like 15-20 years ago. It would kill everything.
Bermuda Grass Central you are absolutely right Dursban...don't tell anyone but I found two large containers of both products in daddy's shop...he grew vegetables.
I am one with nature until it begins to cross the path of my every day living. I don’t even kill spiders being that they are good luck there is even a story in the Bible how the spiders hid Saul I believe if I’m correct and covered huge cave opening. I’m that guy too. Great video guys
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral just finished watching Milorganite vid from 2017. You have me watching Ron Henry now. I aspire to get to his level of excellence. I’m still avg homeowner. Lol
Thank you for such a thorough explanation! I would have ended up disturbing it before I poured it on. How is BYD Jr. doing these days? After I watched Ant Bully several years ago, it bothers me to kill black ants, but I'm terrified of fire ants! And they are horrible in NC this year!!
Orthene ortho fire ant one 12 ounce will kill over 160 and kills in 90 minutes . Do not need to water with gallons of water and it’s cheap not 8 mounds like this product 160 mounds for 12 oz powder . Don’t apply before rain I know that’s hard in Florida .
Thank you so much for such a helpful video! What if I already disturbed the ant mound and sprayed insect spray on all the fire ants I saw? Is it too late for this and do I have to wait for the mound to re-form?
I remember 20yrs ago there was a tall tube that u turn the top 180° and sprinkle the granules wherever ants wer present and within seconds ud see the ants twitching and then dead. It didnt matter what kind of ant species, didnt matter what time of day it was, if we wer playing and seen a bunch of ants, just get the stuff and sprinkle it on the ants and done. Now its a bunch of instructions and steps and waiting and its only for one type of ants. Now, i just pour gas on em and done as done.
Any tips for finding the ant mound. I live in so cal and my backyard has hills and a lot of dirt and rocks. There’s red ants on my dogs food, but I can’t find the mound or ant hole.
therrell lyon I’m currently overbooked due to these UA-cam videos, currently looking to hire an extra guy, but what’s the issue I may be able to help you this way?
I live on the coast of Australia in a rainforesty kind of area, Ive got a big issue with funnel ants, Ive tried alot of things, Ive got thousands of little mounds in my yard and have tried everything, do you got any tips on how I can get rid them, there little nasty little bastards that never surface, they also bite pretty hard
Oops. Should have watched this first. I disturbed it and poured the whole bag over it. You’re right, a lot got away I’m sure. I did pour some around the mound. Hate fire ants. Their mean.
oh my, that was the worst waste of ant killer, you only need to sprinkle a small amount around the mound and the workers carry it down into the nest and feed it to the drones and queen, thereby killing off the complete nest.
Global Threat And its summer and they are back again. There are mounds that are so large and high from the ground. Have to watch every step small, medium and major large mounds.
How long does it take to kill the ants? There seems to be hundreds of ants walking around after the ant poison is applied. I’ve seen orange oil videos where the ants seem to be killed immediately.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral How often do you have to kill the fire ant mounds? How long do they stay gone after you kill them all? Do they stay gone for weeks, or months, or years? Have you tried using boiling water or the orange oil method? I'm trying the sugar and borax on regular ants. The tiny red ants eat that and die within 1 to 3 days, but the medium and larger black ants aren't very attracted to that poison. We don't have fire ants in the snow belt, but we have to prepare for them when we move to Florida.
Dave Borchard a month or so but if you treat mounds and entire lawn you can get control for entire season. If you use boiling water you’ll kill the grass in that spot for the entire season. Haven’t tried oils.
How to kill a fire ant Mound for free! Takes minutes. Get a 3 foot thin round Rod. Poke it near center of mound till you locate a soft deeper spot. That's where the Queen lives. Poke the rod into the dirt marking the position of the her. Now go to get the pot of boiling water U prepared on the stove! (wicked grin) Return to the mound covered by pissed off fire ants attacking your rod. Pour the boiling water in that position. Remove the rod and then slam the rod on the ground to shed it of pissed off ants. The next day you'll see millions of dead bodies and a few live that soon will die without a queen. The dead grass will re-root and grow back. The total cost is about 10 min of your time and a pot of boiling water. I live in Florida. for 42 yrs I kill a mound when I see one.
Unless you have many mounds. It takes a while for the dead grass to grow back so you will have spots of dead grass for a while but if that doesn’t bother you, go for it. It is really ugly. I’d say go a different route.

@Waylon Joshua Definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
I've just sprinkled this stuff on ant mounds dry and have had great results.

I like that product. I love ADVION also. It is expensive but it has worked in the front yard. Both take diligence.
catbirdfeeder yeah I have another Yard Fanatic that loves Advion also, says he gets awesome results also.
Bermuda Grass Central they both take persistence...it's like whack a mole...you kill em and they pop up over there! But eventually we win the war with diligence. Papa used diazinon....of course anything that works the left takes it away from us.

Ortho white powder. If the chemical don’t kill them, the dang smell will!!!! Lol

They should call this stuff ''ant mover'' because it doesn't kill the ants. It just moves the mound a few feet away and the ants start another mound.
😂😂

Do you have to wear gloves, long sleeves, long pants, a mask and protective eyewear when putting out this stuff?
That optional 👍🏾
excellent video...thank you
How will the product work on the area where you didn’t apply water?
This product requires to be watered in for best results but there are other that don’t require you to water 💦 in product.
Put borax and sugar with hot water and put it on the ant hill
How long did this take b4 u saw results?
Chocolate same day results after I watered it in but don’t disturb mound for at least a week

Any thoughts on treating the whole yard with Termidor?
mel aldridge haven’t tried that product yet , I’ll look into that though, thanks.
use granules if you want to treat a whole yard

John Tovey ouch 🤕
Use ant poison
Biffen L/P same active ingredient as most retail products but higher concentrate, I've had seen results in an hour
So I stepped in a ant pile my dad called the police XD
Your dad aint too bright.

use white vinegar under 3 dollars a gallon works fast , windex works too
