However, I've gotten some great pictures of their backsides and will one day torture them with the idea of showing their friends (insert evil laugh)!

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 use the bait you sprinkle on the mounds in all areas where no chickens or bunnies. By the next day all the bait is under ground where the ants took it. Soon the mound is dead. It may be coincidence, but I noticed no mounds in the area where the animals are. I don't spread it all over, only on the mounds to be taken underground. I always disturb the mound a little first to be sure it is an active mound, otherwise the granules will just stay on top if there's no ants to take it down.

What's the name of the bait that you use?

Amdro. It really works and I only lightly sprinkle on the mound. The next day I check and it's all underground (unless the mound was dead).


Maybe I can do that when all of the birds have gone in to roost and let that set over night. I could follow up with that fire thing again. :hide But then my psychiatrist may not be happy because of that "thing" that happened a while back with that fire "thing". :lau just joking ya'll. :gig
 
Wow, I feel like I have lazy birds now! I was just reading a thread about what time your chickens get up, everyone was 4:30-6am. I open my coop at 6:30 and get the stink eye every morning. My birds flat out refuse to come off the roosts until 8am.
