Hello everyone, After hearing various stories of people, unconscious after rural car accidents, dying of overwhelming fire ant stings I began to investigate methods of fire ant control. Urban (rural)legend or not, I felt compelled to try something to control these ants that had no natural enemies in our area. We discovered the "Logic" brand of fire ant control. Logic is a growth regulator, that when consumed prevents the queen from laying eggs that normally would develop into worker ants. The ants live out their normal lifespan of six to eight weeks and then die and are not replaced. The typical poisons can disturb a mound and cause it to move as workers die off, and many mounds now develop with more than one queen, making poisoning less successful as well as all the other hazards.(posted 9205 days ago)Many of our indigenous ants have returned and those horrid mounds are gone. Have any of you accidently stepped on one, and had your feet sink down into it? Luckily I am young enough to have gotten out of there quickly... Now the gophers are back...
