    Christine: if they are fire ants, I've found a bit of Amdro works quite well.

    Fire ants make colonies when the weather is damp. They certainly are a nuisance and hurt when they bite. Fire ants will sting humans who disturb a nest. The sting of a red imported fire ant is painful and often results in a raised welt that becomes a white pustule. Often, a person stung by red imported fire ants will receive multiple stings from more than one of the ants. Persons allergic to insect stings will react more severely to red ant stings.

    I also use Amdro, it seems to be the only thing that helps. I pour it on then use a stick to mix it in the mound. Do not water. Mound will die in a few hours.
