Dealing with Fire Ants
I apparently have a fire infestation. Luckily, it hasn't reached the house, but I have at least two decent-sized anthills in the backyard, and little red mounds popping up all over everywhere else. With little Kobe (my sulcata tortoise) spending pretty much all of his time outside now, and getting ready to do some serious re-landscaping of the property, I need to nip this problem in the bud. After all, in years to come, I will be working toward a larger, more permanent pen for my sulcata, and more importantly, I have two little boys who will be running around outdoors before too long.
For those of you with experience, what are some effective methods you have dealing with fire ants?
