Response to fire ants

I live north of Marshall, TX, about 50 miles. The TV station in Tyler used to give out the formula to kill fire ants during their Farm and Ranch Show, but different people do the show now. The man from Marshall's fire ant killer had dish detergent in it, I believe it was Joy or Dawn. There were 13 or 14 ingredients in all. The man who used to do the farm show also used to recommend combining 5 lbs. cornmeal, 2 Tablespoons AMDRO, and grape juice, I think 1 cup purple grape juice. Stir it up and sprinkle around the mounds. He said the cornmeal was to distribute the poison, and the grape juice was to attract the ants. I never did try either method.
