Glynda Jenkinson Apr 27, 2017Hi, we've tried diatomaceous earth on some mounds and it worked but not on some others! Maybe we need to disturb the mound and then sprinkle more on it! Thank you!

Naomie Moore aka baileyanddaisey, Castaic CAon Apr 26, 2017I do not have fire ants either, but I do have ants . . . I used vinegar. Hydrogen peroxide or alcohol will work too.![Janet Pizaro]()

Darlene Phillipson Apr 26, 2017We have fire ants in Houston and they are horrible. I buy Orange Oil at a plant nursery and you dilute it to use it. Its biodegradable and smells good. If it will kill fire ants then it would probably work on a tyrannsaurus rex, those little ants are horrible.![Glynda Jenkins]()
