Thanks Dave for that tip. I will try Sevin dust. I use Amdro and it works ok...but with Amdro I think they are just moving down the way. I wonder if Sevin dust also works on other kinds of ants? I see a lot of non Fire Ants too.


When we lived in Gordonville, TX., I found placing a piece of tin siding on top of mound caused them to just move out. Not sure what it does but they were gone in a day anytime I tried this.
