    They need a moat around the bee houses. I did that with my hummingbird feeders and they can't get to them anymore.

    I know folks in Pearland that have these ants and they are very hard to get rid of. My friend have been fighting these "Crazy Ants" for over a year with no success. She fills a large coffee can with their bodies once a week and the Orkin exterminator said her case isn't that bad.

    I have been fighting them somewhat successfully after a couple of years of trial and error. They are attracted by other dead crazy ants so instead of chasing them all over the property I just designated one or two places outside as kill zones and just use common Seven dust or Ortho poisons in dust form. Liquids do fair but the dust does the best. Bait doesn't do squat so don't waste your money. I'm not winning but I'm not losing so that is almost like a win lol. You can no longer see the ground in these areas where they are dying. I am still learning. Crazy ants have become #1 on top of my hate list. Moral of the story don't poison around where you are trying to keep them from or all of them will show up.

      interesting, you're locked in a stalemate with ants that some other people basically claim don't exist or the incidents they cause to never happen. Likely because they themselves are lucky enough to never have to encounter them.

    Its a losing battle because of a lot of factors. The main one is you can treat a house but the other houses aren't being treated and they come back after about a couple of weeks after treatment. The label is the law and you can only treat with termidor twice a year. There already in Victoria, Lavaca, and Goliad counties and spreading. They will win this battle.

    If they're southern speeches, then they will probably die if the temperature goes sufficiently below zero. To kill all the ants in a car, the car just has to be driven to some refrigeration facility, may be parked into a refrigerated railroad car, and let to become to about -10 degrees Celsius. A trip to some northern region during winter will also probably do. The reason, why -1 degrees Celsius will probably not be enough is that ants do not consist of pure water, which means that they freeze at a lower temperature than pure water. Another idea might be to deprive the ants in the car from oxygen, but that can be a dangerous undertaking to humans, because humans might be suffocated like pigs suffocate in slaughter houses. Third option might be ant traps that do not kill all ants, but have a statistical effect. May be some canister that lures the ants in, but does not allow them to climb back up. There might be some materials that are too slippery for insects to climb on them, but may be a vibrator from mobile phones or sex shop or a loudspeaker or some ultrasound device might be connected to the only surface that leads out of the canister. In stead of ether, small amount of ordinary gasoline might be used for killing the ants after they have been collected to the canister. The gasoline fumes would be inhaled by the ants and that's probably toxic to them. Subdued ants might also be burned without them running away from the open pile.
    All in all, the ants seem to be not that big of a problem and the media coverage just magnifies the topic. If I was able to crank up a few ideas and this comment here in 10 minutes while drinking my "morning coffee", then the ant problem does not look that interesting (to me).

      @sininetulnukas 7 лет назад

      How about fighting fire with fire? Find something that eats them and that is easier to get rid of after all the fireants have been eaten? May be a robot vacuum cleaner in the Car might even do. Another robo-vacuum device near the engine and the tide might start to change. After all, in 21. century we have embedded computers for creating various interesting gadgets. There's even a laser system that shoots only one type of insects, mosquitoes, and the rest are left alive. A computerized "frog" that eats only one type of insects and not other speeches? Poison hits all insects, but a computerized frog can choose, what type of insects are left alive and what insects are killed. Remember matrix printers? Imagine a similar device, except that in stead of hitting a colored tape, the device slams ants, SELECTIVELY, according to real-time classification of insects. First vacuum all insects and then selectively slam only the bad ones and release the others.
