Not so common!!!!?? A mixture of human urine and coffee grounds will do the trick. I know it is kinda uncooth, but it will work. Pour repeatedly onto the mound and you should get rid of them. I am not sure if it kills them, but they will leave and go far away, and you are using what would otherwise be waste.
AnswerI heard that sprinkling GRITS around will get rid of fire ants. The grits must be dry and uncooked. the ants will feed the grits to the queen and after eating the grits they swell up inside the body and they die, plus the queen can no longer lay her eggs before she dies. AnswerPour 1/2 gallon of Kerosene/diesel fuel slowly over the fire ants mound and allow to soak in for 10 minutes and then ignite....Spray entire yard area with mixture of water and chlordane once per year.
chlordane was discontinued in the US in 1983 but can be purchased from Mexico.
Chlordane and DDT were the only 2 insecticides that were 100% effective in fire ant control..DDT was banned worldwide and can not be purchased..
