Will be trying the dawn method, and we are moving the coop soon. Have to take care of the see able mounds in the area we are moving the coup too first.

As stupid as this sounds, I use the instant grits, in the 4 lb bag. I am in Midlands SC, but fire ants are still fire ants. Also, if my flock eats the dried grits, it won't affect them like eating an ant poison would.

Quote: Try to locate the mound. It has to be somewhere. Follow the ant trail, if you can. I put about 1/2 cup instant grits on top of the mound.
Quote: No, gas comes from refineries. The crude oil it is made from comes from the ground. And it is fine so long as it stays the hundreds of feet below the ground. On the surface, not so much (just ask Exxon or BP). Both are toxic to animals and neither can be made non-toxic. As for pouring it in the ground near or in the coop, I wouldn't. Use a killer or better yet a repellent that is tested and certified as safe around pets and livestock.
