    Fire ant in Italy

    So fire ants finally made it to Italy. They found 5 mounds on 5 Hectares in Sicily. My advice to them, burn all of it to the ground, use all the pesticides they have, and dig a 20 foot deep trench around the entire site and then napalm it.

    Fire ants laugh at your pitiful attempt at control. They have been trained well by their long time ally the cockroach.

    Borax. Cheap, kills the colony.

    For less environmental issues, sugar with baking soda.

    I've always had an outside cat or 2. Never have mice, rat, mole or snake problems. The keep them thinned out pretty good. The key is not overfeeding the cats so they maintain that predatory/feed instinct. Female cats are the best hunters.

    Same thing happened to me so she started hunting in the field across from the house and eliminated those as well! I've watched her dig those suckers out of the ground. Haven't seen a mole in years, lol.

    Yep, we have outside cat and he eliminated mole problems. He is 9 and there is a reason his name is Tiger.
