We have had a ton of rain lately. We're in so Florida and fire ants are a problem, ESPECIALLY during heavy rain. They pop up everywhere looking for somewhere dry.
Well today I went out to my coop to collect eggs and clean. I started rinsing the outside of the nest boxes and noticed a pile on top of them where it connects to my run. Well there's a huge pile in my run and it looks like an entire freaking colony.
Obviously they (the ants) were not happy with me spraying them with water.... There's also something winged (maybe carpenter ant?) But its right in the entrance to my run and in a nesting box... obviously where my girls need to go tonight. And there are thousands...
WHAT IN THE (INSERT WORD OF CHOICE) AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS??
I put some vinegar water and was thinking maybe going to grab some DE. Any suggestions would be SUPER GREATLY APPRECIATED!
