re: fire ant jihad

Longtime H&G lurker here and late to the party from your original post. But Lord, yesss! I'm in Ponchatoula area and every few yrs they seem particularly bad, though I fight the lil bastards to some degree annually. I'm not originally from this part of the state but after moving back to La. have been here about 12 yrs now, and I've commented to others many times that fire ants in this area are like regular fire ants on steroids! Never seen the likes. I use Bifen as well. Only thing that seems to actually eradicate them (uhm...for awhile). Most of my neighbors do very little gardening, but I am always fiddling around outside, so I'm fine with even just relocating them to their lots instead.

Ditto here on the raised bed ant issue but oddly, finally got things well under control using only 1:1 ratio of granulated sugar to raw grits. Was skeptical when it was recommended, but I'll be damned if it didn't work here. You can also just take a small shovel full from one pile and dump that on a separate ant hill. They go to war with each other to protect their own, and the number of dead you'll find the next day using that method alone will happily surprise you.
Bwahahaha! This is awesome. And re Vandy @4:11..."Let him danceeee!" I died. Thanks for the share!

Flip to the Stick!!!
Man, get them out of there and in the air. And honestly, I feel bad for LK having to deal with reactions like this when he was trying to negotiate doing the right thing and it was OM admin that was uncooperative. Damn shame.
Hmmm... So the best course of action is for us to just piss him off from the get go? Got it. Lol
Feed froze here. Can someone please explain what's going on?

Agreed. And Frank's been a stand up guy through this chaos. Let the man have a bowl under his belt as interim.
Gracious move young man. Good on ya.

I've lurked since several yrs before my shown registration date when I had to re register, and this has definitely been the best imho. The pace, the melts, the schizophrenic nature of it alone, has been a blast.

I hate for this to end. I've had a blast with this particular search and the frenetic energy on the CC board.
OM just might be getting fed up
