Guest guest Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Garden Safe Fire Ant Killer http://texasbluelime.com/wp/2007/11/21/garden-safe-fire-ant-killer/ 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. Radiating UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & Truth To ALL who share our circle, our universe, our love, our trust. May I always be found worthy. Gratitude & Thankfulness to All of Us aSoaringHawk Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with joy & glory. Thank you for YOU, ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
