Fire ant in Italy

[Lord McBuckethead]

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.

I like your approach but don't forget the tactical Nukes!! ***********

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

Man I hate those things! I?ve joked with my wife that we live on ant hill! They?re so hard to eradicate and the OPs solution maybe the only way!

Pour tonic water or coke on the mound, The CO2 will kill the queen. Don't laugh until you try it !!

Might as well I?ve tried everything else!

Y'all need to use Bifenthrin and spray your yard. No more ants.

Borax. Cheap, kills the colony.

For less environmental issues, sugar with baking soda.

Any advice for killing moles?

Get an outisde cat. They'll eliminate your mole population.

Or a Jack Russell Terrier like I have. :cool:

I've heard they're pretty good at that as well!

[Maverick91]

Ahh natural resources. Can’t beat it.

[Commercecomet24]

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.

Yes. Ours used to bring us moles and pieces of them, but he ran out of moles a couple of years back!

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.

Oh yeah! Female cats are extremely predatory and protect their surroundings. They?ll kill anything that interlopes or try anyways. I?ve found male cats wander to much unless you cut em and then they seem to lose some of their meanness lol.

I?m a dog guy too, but learned some tricks from my papaw growing up on his farm and the cat thing was one of em! Smart old man who didn?t have a 9th grade education and was very successful. Oh and cats are self sufficient. You can go on a long vacation come back home and the cats just fine. Can?t do that with Rover lol!

[basedog]

I love it!

Cc24, if it hops, flies, crawls or jumps, Tiger is gonna get it. My youngest daughter 9 years ago brought him home. He was like a week old, she and my wife got a baby doll bottle and fed him. But after several weeks he had to become self efficient and live outside. Pretty aggressive and very territorial male cat. I’m not a cat lover but I feed him and look after him. Lastly, i only bet him when I feed him, he can hurt you. LOL

I?ve only had one male cat like that and he was the same way. We called him Cow because he looked like a jersey cow. That sucker would get up on my deck railing and jump up on the roof and look over his kingdom lol. The other males I?ve had didn?t stick around more than a year.

LOL. When Tiger was about 8 months or so we had him "Fixed". Had him in a cage, vet assistant came to get him, told him to be careful getting him out of cage, he laughed. So I want to pick Tiger up in the afternoon. Assistant brought him out in his cage with long rubber gloves, sad he was the most aggressive cat they ever had! LMBO
