I'm sure any of the myths out there regarding killing fireants will work; temporarily. But fireants are highly evolved and intelligent. You must kill them on contact and you must kill the queen. Using baits will not work because once the ants mark a food source as poison, the entire colony is notified and everyone begins removing the food from the colony. There is a product I've used that works better than anything. Texas A&M University tested the product as well with great success. The product is called Exxant. It's not a poison and is all natural. Which is why I like it. I normally have to treat twice but this product kills the queen and all the ants. I know it's killing them because they all come out of the mound and die within minutes. The bottle says to give it 5 days but it seems to work faster than that. You can find them at www.fireantfighter.com. Or you can keep trying Dawn.
