I just built a coop and I have 8 babies and live in the Augusta Georgia area where fire ants run rampant. I have read many threads but can't seem to figure out how to keep them out of my nesting box area. I pre-treated with sevin and DE but they just move around in the fenced in coop and box. I did not treat the actual nesting box but the ants seem to stray that way too. Any help would be appreciated.
