Fire ants are a continuous battle in North Texas. But, I recently found that if I stir the nest and shake some Sevin dust on it the ants are gone within days. I find no indication that they have moved. I think they might be getting it on their bodies and carrying it back down into the nest.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
