Supplies

5 gallon bucket of watershovel

Ingredients

1/4 cup Turpentine (not

"turpatine")1/4 cup ammonia1/4 cup Lysol® cleaner1/4 cup Dawn® dish washing

liquid

Instructions

Add each of the ingredients

to the bucket of water and mix gently. (Add the Dawn last to keep the suds

at bay.)Quickly and carefully, dig up

the fire ant mound at lest 1-2 feet into the ground. Remember the queen

lives at the bottom. Work quickly so you don't get stung.Gently, pour the entire

5-gallon bucket into the mound. The water will carry the ingredients deep

into the mound. The suds will coat the ants. If you dug down far enough,

you have a good chance of killing the queen.

Notes

I like to leave the mound

uncovered for a day or two to monitor activity. If necessary, I make

another batch, dig further down and try again. When I stop seeing

activity, I cover the hole back up.My grandfather shared this

recipe with everyone on his street. They had enormous success in getting

rid of the ants in their corner of the neighborhood.

I have used a similar product for fire ants and mounds, this is just about the same as I used when I lived in Florida and had many problems with fire ants, they ate through the walls and came into my bed and were in my pillows, came into my closet got into my clothes and ate right through them, they are horrible. The only way to rid of them is to kill the queen, and it works: natural and safe: http://www.planetnatural.com/cgi-bin/planetnatural/safer-fire-ant-bait Soaring Hawk <aSoaringHawk@...> wrote: Garden Safe Fire Ant Killer http://texasbluelime.com/wp/2007/11/21/garden-safe-fire-ant-killer/ Supplies 5 gallon bucket of water shovel Ingredients 1/4 cup Turpentine (not "turpatine") 1/4 cup ammonia 1/4 cup Lysol® cleaner 1/4 cup Dawn® dish washing liquid Instructions Add each of the ingredients to the bucket of water and mix gently.

I certainly don't mean to offend anyone here, but this hardly seems

a " natural remedy " . I would be worried to use this, especially if

there is a garden near by, for the next time it rains those toxic

substances in the cleaners will be spread into our earth mother and

seep into the root systems of our foods.

A natural alternative is to sprinkle some corn meal around the mound.

The ants will take this to the queen, and ingest it themselves.

Because they can not digest it, they will die. Another helpful idea

is to take some cinnamon powder and sprinkle it over the mound and

pour on some warm water so it seeps into the ground. This may have to

be done a few days in a row, but they will leave the area. Cinnamon

powder is warm when applied to our skin, but tends to burn the ants.

If you have problems with ants or insects in your home you can also

sprinkle a line of cinnamon around the edges of your home, or garden

and they will not cross it. I hope this helps you. Lots of love, Kat
