Borax - buy it at any Grocery or Home store...

Also, I've always wondered what dropping a dump truck full of dirt on
top of a Fire ant hole would do. They would surely be trapped. Or
would they?

I can vouch for this... it works. I usually dilute it with some water and
pour it down the hole. They won't build one in that spot again for a long
time. Borax is also the active ingredient in Terro Ant Killer syrup, which
is the best (indoor) ant killer I've yet used.

Fire ants ( or most insects) would just dig their way out . . .

How could an ant dig there way up a dump truck full of dirt - say like
4 ft. high or so. No - don't think so. And it would be too wide for
them to go sideways - they'd have to dig several yards horizontally
then come up. I think this method will work. And I thought of it.
Is there a Nobel prize for fighting ants?

BB,

You are 'thinking' like a Human. The GI (Group Intelligence) Ants are
not human they are Insects and the Live and Think like any group of
'collective insects' that exist in a hive or colony social
environment.

Its not simply 'one' "ANT" it is a Colony of GI Ants that are going to
try and survive by going up, down and around if needed to keep the GI
Ant Colony Alive. The GI Ants will fight until the last one dies
trying to get to food and water to maintain the colony.

SMHL,

Now there is an Idea !

Use three PVC Pipes with a heavy wire inside and run RF out to two of
them and Ground the third one. Rotate the RF pairing and the ground:
1/2&3; 2/3&1; 3/1&2.

Electro-Fry the GI Ants with RF Energy.
- NO Harmful Pesticides
- - NO Environmental Toxins
- - - NO Hazardous Waste
FRIED ANTS!!! Anyone :o)

BURR,

In the Desert there is nothing you can really do about GI Ants.

But you can change your attitude about the Ants.

Get three long white poles with little flags on them and stick them in
the Ant Holes.

Tell everyone that you have a "GI Ant Three Hole Golf Course" :o)

I am saddened by the viciousness shown towards the animal kingdom's
proletarian vanguard. Ants are oppressed workers just like men --
giving their labor and lives to support a degenerate ruling elite.

The workers of all kingdoms must show solidarity, not hostility! To
you the ants have invaded your yard. From the ants point of view, you
have invaded their land with your house. Do you think they are
plotting ways to exterminate you? Surely not.

Unite, comrades! We have a world to win and nothing but chains to
lose!
