Double-A Don't like ants. Did I not post they put me in the hospital,and
just a month ago one red fire ant bite put that history TV guy in the

can say "termites"don'[t have a chance against fire ants'. They kill
horses and cows that are as stupid as me when they step on their mounds.
I think about a billion bucks is spent to control these ants each year.
There is no way to completely wipe them out. They can think,and are much
smarter than you think. I have killed them by the trillions since they
bit me 42 times and my temp went up to 105F We are at war. They know me
by my smell,and they have built large hills all around my house;. They
have made walking on grass impossible. I use to kill them with my own
very powerful chemicals,but they now use this solution to drink and swim
in Go figure TreBert


If I had ants like that in my yard, I'd be attacking them on all fronts
with weapons of mass destruction!

Trouble is, they've banned the most effective chemicals like DDT and
Chlordane. Now I guess Dursban and Diazinon have been banned too.
Diazinon and Chlordane worked great for wiping out nests of
yellowjackets that live in the ground too.

Of course if you can find the ant's queen, then the war is over. I had
a colony of carpenter ants in my woodpile. When I split a piece of
wood, there she was, the grub-like queen! After I killed her, I just
ignored all the other ants running around on the ground, because I knew
they would all die out now.

You should devise a new way to attack those anthills, Bert. Maybe it
would make you rich if you could find an effective way. I wonder if
they could be penetrated by a microwave weapon?
