      You probably have to unplug the yard first. Sometimes the old turn off and turn back off thing doesn’t work and the problems don’t change. One time I was invaded by fire ants and I tried turning my yard off and turning it back on but it didn’t work. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and the ants were gone. If this doesn’t work for you try resetting your yard and it should work

    We use a 50/50 mix of baking soda and sugar. Blend in a spice mill until it’s a sweet powder. Place it near the nest where ants will “find” it. Keep it dry. Tasting the sugar, ants will carry the powder into the nest feeding queen and workers. The baking powder will neutralize the acid that allows them to digest starch and sugar. Within a couple days the nest will starve to death. Second reason to use this combination; it’s safe for humans and pets.

      @wesbaumguardner8829 4 роки тому +47

      You have to make sure you use ant hills from different queens. Many fire ant mounds are satellite mounds all created by the same queen, so they do not fight each other. You will know if this is the case if they do not immediately fight each other when you place a shovel from one mound onto the other. Unfortunately, all of my mounds seem to be from the same queen, so this method did not work for me.

    Maybe it would work if you put a container over the mound that was sealed to the ground, with a small vent on top. Vinegar and baking soda release CO2 gas when they react, CO2 is heavier than air and will cause the ants to asphyxiate.

    Ants have an exoskeleton, which means that their exoskeleton keeps their internal fluids inside.
    Go to your local tractor supply, southern states etc., and get some food grade (fresh water) Diotomaceous Earth. I get mine from tractor supply.
    Pour it all around the mound in a circle about a foot or so.
    Diotonaceous Earth or DE, has barbs all over it.
    When the ants walk through it, it gets on them puncturing their exoskeleton, and they dry up from the inside out and die.
    I put it in my chickens dust bath and in their coop because DE also kills fleas, ticks and mites.
    But make sure it's food GRADE fresh water DE, and not salt water DE.

(After bathing my dogs with the blue Dawn I'm going to place the DE on them to kill any pesky fleas who think they have a free meal). I've used soooo many different types of the residential flea/ant killer granules and liquids but nothing works. The little bastards seem to be resilient! Living in Texas has its downfalls. No real winter = a year round battle. I also bought Orange Oil and plan to place the oil mixed with 1 gallon of water directly into the bigger mounds. Death to the queen!

    A professional exterminator taught me how it works. You can waste money
    on Ortho or anything else, but it does no good. 45 seconds after the mound
    is disturbed, they are moving the queen somewhere else. So when you waste
    your money on junk to "kill the mound" as the add says, you don't kill it, you
    move it. Fipronil (taurus company) is the only thing that works, Spray it on
    the mound, the ants get it on their skin, and take it back to the queen and
    the rest of the hive. That kills them, no matter where they moved to.

      Assuming fire ants feed on sugar much like regular ants, you can purchase a what is basically a simple syrup but with a poison that kill the ants. They grab small amounts and bring it back into their home, feed on it and die.
