Ants everywhere, need help

Would rather not have 1000 dead patches in my yard.

I had the same problem, would put poison on a mound just for them to move and start another one. Bought a bag that you put in a spreader like you would fertilizer and applied it over my entire yard. Been about a month so far and it has worked. No sign of ants. Can't remember the brand but the active ingredient was bifinthrin.

this ^^^^^^

but dont light it on fire, you want the fumes to go into the ground and kill all the ones under ground

yes it kills the grass, but i rather dead spots with zero ants rather than no dead spots and ants everywhere.

i tried everything known to kill them, at best you kill a handful of ants on the surface and they move the mound

i used gas and maybe a tiny mound shows up after, i hit that with gas and they are 100% gone for good.

also, if you see a mound, there are at least 4 escape exits within a few feet of that mound that dont have mounds to mark them so you dont see them until they get you.

someone at work just recommended this.

Upon the advice of one of my Forest Hill nursery buddies, I use Extinguish. It is a "bait", not a "killer" and works on the principle the workers will take it back to the mound and screwing up the queen. Queen dies, mound dies. It's a little pricey but I've found it works great.

I lightly broadcast in the evening around the perimeter of my property (~2 acres) and at any areas that have a concentration of mounds. Fire ants scout and feed at night and they will take the bait back the mound.

Try to do it when no rain is predicted for 3-4 days, and the hotter the weather the better.....and be patient. I may take 3-4 weeks for all the mounds to die.

I do not buy from this website, just used it for info.

Extinguish

Spray the whole yard with this. Bug b gone

Fill the hills with molten aluminum dig up sell it as art profit

Dial soap works. But get some Suspend SC, that shite kills all the bugs, dont even have lizards running around the porch looking for bugs. I dig deep into the ant pile and spray the mixed solution as deep as possible and all over the ant hill and any stragglers I can. They die instantly. The only trouble is making sure to get down deep enough to get the lower parts but its pretty strong and once they are touched by any "fumes' for lack of a better word of the spray they'll die.

ETA: it is supposedly made from plants (idk about that bc it kills the shite out of bugs and giant New Orleans roaches quickly, and if not they'll bring it back to their nest and get them). It is an Elmer's glue like substance you mix with water and spray. Just spray on a day where you know it won't rain the next day or so.
