Fire Ants Took Over… So I Tried This

Описание: Fire ants are a constant problem around our farm.
After trying different approaches, this is what I decided to do next.

Fire ants have taken over fence posts, pastures, buildings, and anywhere animals lay down. I’ve tried different control methods over time — including bait mixed with fertilizer — with mixed results.

In this video, I walk through how I treated active fire ant mounds using a drench method while conditions were right, what I mixed, how I applied it, and what I observed afterward. I also talk about the pros and cons of using larger equipment, what seemed to work immediately, and what I may change next time.

This isn’t a miracle cure or a one-time fix — it’s real property maintenance and an ongoing battle.

If you deal with fire ants where you live, drop your experience in the comments so others can learn too.
