FIRE ANT REMOVAL
![]()
My buddy from Atlanta, Georgia swears this works. Go to Home Depot or Wal-mart and buy a can of black spray paint. The brand pictured works great. Stir up each ant mound as you go and the area around them with a stick. The ants will emerge by the hundreds to defend the mounds. Spray each mound and the surrounding area, making sure you get plenty of paint on the ants as well. Once the ants realize they live in a black neighborhood, they quit working and start killing each other.
In extensive research it was found that leaving some of the fire ants their native color helped destroy the colony at a faster rate, just paint a large barren dry area near the productive ant hill red and set out some :drink: beer in a small cap on the other side of the red painted area for the red fire ants left their native color. Soon the fire ants left their native color stop defending the colony and hang out at the cap full of beer.
I am not sure why this works but it seems that living in the harsh barren unproductive areas breeds a contempt for work and a desire to drink to much beer.
