I have waited a loooong time to bring you the news that I am about to share. It's special enough to deserve it's own blog posting. I just finished mowing our lawn, and for the first time .....ever....in the history of my residency in South Carolina......there are no fire ants on my property. I know, I was as shocked as you are. Even though I kept looking on the ground for ant mounds, I never found any. The lawn was so clean and flat!
The big chemical product winner for this year has been Orthene, by Ortho. It's a white powder (stinky white powder) that you sprinkle on the mound. You don't even have to water in in like some other worthless products. Every time I put some down, the mound died immediately. Well, ok, maybe like 24 hours later, but that is pretty fast in fire ant battles. You should come on down and take a look while you can! I'm sure they're plotting their revenge and resurgency as we speak.
