Fire ant disposal methods

[captbridgers]

I have fire ant mounds all over the yard. The girls free range in the same area. They won't EAT the fire ants so I have to get rid of the ants. ! HOW?,...without getting rid of them as well? Amdro kills fire ants but I'll bet it won't do my girls any good!! captbridgers

Try corn flour. I have not tried it myself but many I know swear by it. Apparently ants cannot digest cornflour and so it kills them. Just pour a handful of cornflour beside each round.

Thanks for your suggestion! Will try it & advise you of its success (hopefully) or failure if it be! Regards, captbridgers

Sorry I meant corn meal. I must have been sleep deprived. But do let me know how it works!
