They're all over Florida now. Amdro seems to work well, they scarf it up like hounds snatching unguarded burgers at a bar-b-q. Vicious little bastards. They’re all over Florida now.

Who knew? About a pint of gasoline poured directly on a mound works wonders. A friend insists on this method of control: find two different mounds, get 2 buckets, place shovel-full of ants from each mound in different buckets, then pour the ants onto the opposite mound from where they came. He swears this causes an ant war, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go through when some gas works well enough. Fire ants have brains? Who knew?

They raise little blisters on me, but there's no itching or burning (I'm also not allergic to poison ivy, or haven't been to date. Such things can change, I'm told). But they're nasty, nasty critters and total war should be waged on these illegal insect immigrants. When I lived in Florida I discovered, to my amazement, that I seem to be immune to fire ant bites.
