James...I appologize for incorrect info on Fire Ants. My wife just informed me that instant grits DO NOT work. It's the regular grits that work. she has experimented with both. So thank Sara for this info. Use REGULAR GRITS and they will be gone very quickly. Again...I appologize and hope no one went out and bought 50 LBS or instant grits. If you did they will feed alot on friends and neighbors for a while. Just add eggs and toast alonf with some good old homemade jelly and yea...some homemade sausage. Coffee is good with them as well.

Bob... I'll be retiring to a little community in Delta, Alabama with a Lineville, Alabama Address.
I'm from Anniston originally. Had 20 years USAF and 15 years civil service. Was in Huntsville for just over 3 years at the Weather Office there and loved north Alabama as well. Still have a home or house there in Madison. I know where Hartselle is as I saw many big storms move thru there between Oct 1994 and Jan 1998 before I moved to remote Alaska for the Weather Service. Then I went to Hilo, Hawaii and now I'm in Honolulu. Can't aford to stay here after retirement...But then I'm still an Alabama Boy at heart and My wife a Southern Bell at Heart.

Enough about me. Just get those fire ants gone James so the children can have fun around the pond.
