OT help me make sense of this, regarding fire ant killer

Ant poison to kill ants. While effective there are so many more entertaining ways to kill those little spawns of Satan.

Well then tell me that on the instructions

Buy an ant killer that doesn't need to be watered in

Gasoline + match

Gasoline + match

no that is wrong, the match ruins it and saves their lives

put gasoline, first around the mound encircling it, then over it AND DO NOT LIGHT IT

the fumes are what kills them, they go down underground through all the passages and kills everything, unlike poisons that kill maybe 1/3 of the mound and they just move over to a new spot.

try it, it works, and its a "permanent" solution, but it does kill the grass too. i figure i rather have a few dead spots for a week or two then ant piles everywhere

Do you mean fire ant mover? That's all that most of them do.

Get that Ortho orthene shite. Works perfectly.

Get a watering can and water lightly

They want you to wait to disturb them so they come up through the poison. Don’t doubt me. I know my stuff.

Ants are the enemy of termites.

I'd rather keep the ants.

Truetiger knows what he is talking about. My feet look like a teenagers face with the ant bites... I would rather have that then the frickers chewing my house up..I let nature handle the termites. just keep the wood off the ground. If cut any shrubs or trees next to your house get some termite poison at HD or Lowes.
