If you live in the South, fire ants are a common problem.

But the good news is that the BEST time to kill them is in the fall: they're actively foraging and the ants are high in the mound. I like a two-step approach: scatter a bait first, wait 24 hours, and then use another product on individual mounds you can see. With winter to finish them off, anything you do now leads to great rewards next spring.
Enjoyed the project?

Linda S on Sep 16, 2012I tried the 2-step program.Maybe I'm just too anxious but now 10 days later I still have ants, some of the mounds have no activity but are building more mounds about four ft. away. I spread product 2 feet around each mound-they must be plowing underground. At this rate-no need for the tiller next garden season!
