Red Ants

Our yard is full of red ant hills. We put out some ant poison yesterday but after my daughter walked our dog she said they are in alot of yards in our hood.

We actually have to go buy two more bags of ant killer to finish the yard.

Anybody else having this problem and have a cheaper solution to getting rid of them?

Gasoline. :lol:

 

But only if you don't want grass! :jester:

 

and a lighter

 

I think we used seven dust, maybe I will have to asked dh

 

Thanks.

Had this same conversation about ants and my yard with Scott at Barefoot and Associates. Good person to let you know what the options are, especially if they are fire ants! 8)

DDT

 

that stuff is crazy expensive!!

 

OK - what is safe if you have dogs - cat - kids - birds - in yard?

Thank you!

seven dust is very safe for all mentioned! We use it every year and even dust the dogs pen with it to kill off the ticks...

 

I may call him because they are in the back and front yard. May try that seven dust first because funds are limited and we do have a dog.

Thanks,
Sherry

 

Thanks to all. Now I have several options and I did forget to state we have a dog.

an AK47 with a homeade potato silencer. The dog may yelp at first. Always and I mean always double tap! pow pow!

 

ok ok ok In all seriousness.

If you have big mounds in your yard. Nock them over. Keep doing it. Eventually the ants will move to another location because they hate to keep rebuilding underground cities. Straight from the Orkin Man.

 

Dang. Sherry will be running them over my way. No one better have a gas can in their hands out our way. They are looking for the arsonist! LOL

 

Not using gas because with our luck we'd burn down the whole neighborhood but if kicking all the ant hills gets them to move to another yard..........hum........which way would I have to aim to hit your yard. j/k :mrgreen::jester::mrgreen:
