So, I went to WalMart for the 3rd time this morning to get more Sevin Dust and I noticed another container on the side of the original Sevin Dust (red container) that I normally buy. Has anyone saw this one before? It says I called the 1-800 on the internet and talked to the a rep of the company and she said that is is food grade and that this one is BETTER than the Sevin Dust in the red container. She said this one is "organic" because it is made from Chrysanthemums Flowers. I bought a container this morning I noticed that the Sevin Dust in the red container kills over 65 insects and the other container kills over 250 insects. Who knew that there were that many insects. I will have to get a list of those 250 insects. This is what I'm battling with. I have about 100 piles of them all over. I am averaging 1/2 container per ant pile. There's gotta be a better way. Gas and a match is sound better by the minute.
Amazon.com had a 1qt liquid concentrate of the Worry Free for $19.15. It has free shipping if you are an Amazon Prime member, otherwise free shipping over $24.00? and no tax. I'm assuming the liquid would work the same way?
The most successful I have been with fire ant reduction was with a bait. Its a product you sprinkle over the entire yard. The ants will gather done during their normal daily hunt and gather. It effectively reduces the population. I stopped using it though. They take it down in the ground even in my garden.......and I don't want to eat it or have my chickens eat it while out in the yard. If you do a google search, or a search directly on Organic Gardening.com there is a good article by a scientist about fire ants and what us myth and what really works.
I can tell you urine doesn't work! I potty trained my son outside, if urine worked I would have never had ants. I will never think right now when I see someone walking around their yard with a solo cup.
