Hey I met one of those guys a couple of months ago.

A few years ago they were working with some sort of communicable bacteria that the ants would pass from one another. Don't know if it was similar to BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) that they genetically engineered into corn or not. They have to be careful what they introduce and how they introduce it into the ecology, because they don't know what else might get affected. There was a claim that the BT in corn was responsible for the decline of butterfly populations. But in the broad spectrum, is it better to use BT and have a lower butterfly population, or soak everything in Chloropyrofos, kill every insect and wonder how long it takes for the product to break down in a non-toxic form.

.22 LR due to the cost benefit ratio.

My dad used to use motor oil when he did his own oil changes, but it left a dead spot in the grass for a long time.

 Or boil water....If boil water can burn human being, then ants are just as dead.

Last time I washed my car, I dumped the left over dirty, soapy water in the bucket on a fire ant mound.  A couple days later it was totally dead.

Kinda makes me wonder what was in the car wash soap or what came off my car!

Well all the home remedies are great but there HAS to be a fire ant zombie gun.

We can't let this crisis go to waste, to borrow the phrase from the Dems.

If I told my wife that I could kill fire ants with a new gun she would drive me to any gun store in the state and fill out the check for me.
