You probably have to unplug the yard first. Sometimes the old turn off and turn back off thing doesn’t work and the problems don’t change. One time I was invaded by fire ants and I tried turning my yard off and turning it back on but it didn’t work. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and the ants were gone. If this doesn’t work for you try resetting your yard and it should work
We use a 50/50 mix of baking soda and sugar. Blend in a spice mill until it’s a sweet powder. Place it near the nest where ants will “find” it. Keep it dry. Tasting the sugar, ants will carry the powder into the nest feeding queen and workers. The baking powder will neutralize the acid that allows them to digest starch and sugar. Within a couple days the nest will starve to death. Second reason to use this combination; it’s safe for humans and pets.
we went to a campground in texas and found a bunch of fire ant mounds along the fence in the back. i asked the maintenance guy what he was going to do. he said that fire ants are very territorial and all he does is take one shovelful from one nest and puts it on the other. he keeps doing it for about two weeks and one nest destroys the other.
You have to make sure you use ant hills from different queens. Many fire ant mounds are satellite mounds all created by the same queen, so they do not fight each other. You will know if this is the case if they do not immediately fight each other when you place a shovel from one mound onto the other. Unfortunately, all of my mounds seem to be from the same queen, so this method did not work for me.
“Hey, fellow comrade! Where did you come from?” “Oh one of them human giants started messing with us, have you heard of what happened to our other sister mounds?” “Yes, it’s gonna be a pretty big mess to recover from” “No worries, we have each other!”
last time i had an infestation of aunts, i was left with 3 weeks of jello salads and the sound of "when are you going to get mArrIed!???" ringing in my ears.
Really? I did that while in Florida one night having no idea what I was peeing on (it was dark and I just went in a spot where no one could see ) and was rewarded by stings all over my legs so I had to piss on my legs to keep them off me while I was compromised. I was still getting bit though so I don't recommend it.
Dude the fire ant bites at night when you're trying to rest is so awful! I've accidentally clawed chunks out of my feet by sleepily itching the burning bites.
Maybe it would work if you put a container over the mound that was sealed to the ground, with a small vent on top. Vinegar and baking soda release CO2 gas when they react, CO2 is heavier than air and will cause the ants to asphyxiate.
What really works is mixing two separate colonies with one shovel full of each nest. They think they are being attacked by the other colony. They will war amongst themselves until they wipe themselves out. I cleaned my yard this way a few years back.
Once, long ago. I was younger and thought that anything could be resolved with a civil discussion. The Fire Nation saw my request as a sign of weakness and immediately attacked...
It doesn't work. I asked them nicely, and I thought they were crawling on me to make sure I was going to get their message. Well, I got a message, alright.
Im one of the survivor from that ant colony. Now i vow to take my revenge on you. Currently we are setting up bases all around your garden. Just u wait
I knew you'd be back. You just can't let it go, it's not in your nature. But you may want to think it over this time. The good people of RUclips been kind enough to provide their wisdom from years of battle and lets just say, upgraded my skills... But I have left a plate of grits in the DMZ near the fence in the hope of a peaceful outcome. Feel free to dig in while you think it over. Before you eat though how about a couple billion likes for the grits from you and your buddies?
No I was one of the survivors of that massacre it was horrible I almost drowned in vinegar my brothers and sister are dead and our queen was too deep in the mound to escape I will forever hate him and now I will find him and drown him with vinegar and baking soda
use borax and icing sugar, a 50/50 mix, they take it back to the nest and the queen eats it then they all die, do it again when the eggs hatch problem solved
*Puts baking soda* Ant: what was that? Ant 2: it's that guy again putting baking soda. Ant: is that all he has? *Pours vinegar* Ant: OMG WHAT TH.. *whoosh*
I know what you mean. I sat in the yard for hours after it was finally over, just staring at fence. I couldn't move, until the Steelers game came on. Thanks for watching.
Grind up raw rice and throw it around. While it doesn't look as cool, the effect is cooler and it actually works. The ants carry the rice back to the queen who gorges on it and when it expands she explodes...
I’m left wondering what we use baking soda for beyond placement in fridge and mixing with vinegar. Not that I ever thought to kill ants and expect bad results for a lawn.
I'm assuming all those dislikes are by people who have never had to deal with ants in your food, on your dishes, clothes, chairs, couches.... crawling up your arms and legs, being crunched under your bare feet every other step -- everyday for duration of the summer, year after year.
HWDsouth Random Question? I think not considering the copious amounts of baking soda and vinegar that were used, it's quite apropos. Good job giving the impression that you were embroiled in WWI chemical trench warfare. Still LOL'n TOO!

That kills them, no matter where they moved to.
Assuming fire ants feed on sugar much like regular ants, you can purchase a what is basically a simple syrup but with a poison that kill the ants. They grab small amounts and bring it back into their home, feed on it and die.
Jon Dough mix sugar and borax in a small amount of water. Wait for the water to evaporate. Then crush it and put around the ant hill. Does the same thing basically
Ants have an exoskeleton, which means that their exoskeleton keeps their internal fluids inside. Go to your local tractor supply, southern states etc., and get some food grade (fresh water) Diotomaceous Earth. I get mine from tractor supply. Pour it all around the mound in a circle about a foot or so. Diotonaceous Earth or DE, has barbs all over it. When the ants walk through it, it gets on them puncturing their exoskeleton, and they dry up from the inside out and die. I put it in my chickens dust bath and in their coop because DE also kills fleas, ticks and mites. But make sure it's food GRADE fresh water DE, and not salt water DE.
Yep that D definitely works I used it on an infestation of carpenter ants and I've never seen her since one cup of De about for graham crackers crushed spread it around three days later bye bye
Just bought two bags of the Diotomaceous Earth (food grade) from Lowes. Going to use it around the yard to kill both those damn ants and the evil fleas that keep popping up. (After bathing my dogs with the blue Dawn I'm going to place the DE on them to kill any pesky fleas who think they have a free meal). I've used soooo many different types of the residential flea/ant killer granules and liquids but nothing works. The little bastards seem to be resilient! Living in Texas has its downfalls. No real winter = a year round battle. I also bought Orange Oil and plan to place the oil mixed with 1 gallon of water directly into the bigger mounds. Death to the queen!
I got them out of the compound but I had a look around and there are more and more mounds everywhere around me!. My only guess is they plan to launch some sort of spring offensive. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep them out of the compound this time...
I have three acres with plenty of fire ant mounds. I began using spectracide mound destroyer and it is working pretty well and it's not killing the grass.

A professional exterminator taught me how it works. You can waste money
on Ortho or anything else, but it does no good. 45 seconds after the mound

your money on junk to "kill the mound" as the add says, you don't kill it, you
move it. Fipronil (taurus company) is the only thing that works, Spray it on
the mound, the ants get it on their skin, and take it back to the queen and
the rest of the hive. That kills them, no matter where they moved to.
Where do you get enough Fipronil to spray it? Isnt that Frontline?

Pour it all around the mound in a circle about a foot or so.
Diotonaceous Earth or DE, has barbs all over it.
When the ants walk through it, it gets on them puncturing their exoskeleton, and they dry up from the inside out and die.
I put it in my chickens dust bath and in their coop because DE also kills fleas, ticks and mites.
But make sure it's food GRADE fresh water DE, and not salt water DE.
Yep that D definitely works I used it on an infestation of carpenter ants and I've never seen her since one cup of De about for graham crackers crushed spread it around three days later bye bye
Agree, DE will do the job. just cover the mound with it. Won't be instant, but it will do its job very effectively and completely.
You. RULE.
If it punctures ants, wouldn't it be bad for other things too?
Just bought two bags of the Diotomaceous Earth (food grade) from Lowes. Going to use it around the yard to kill both those damn ants and the evil fleas that keep popping up. (After bathing my dogs with the blue Dawn I'm going to place the DE on them to kill any pesky fleas who think they have a free meal). I've used soooo many different types of the residential flea/ant killer granules and liquids but nothing works. The little bastards seem to be resilient! Living in Texas has its downfalls. No real winter = a year round battle. I also bought Orange Oil and plan to place the oil mixed with 1 gallon of water directly into the bigger mounds. Death to the queen!
Did you win the war ?
I got them out of the compound but I had a look around and there are more and more mounds everywhere around me!. My only guess is they plan to launch some sort of spring offensive. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep them out of the compound this time...
HWDsouth need help? Call me: 911
HWDsouth have you tried making art out of your problem? Just pour a crap ton of melted aluminum or some other metal down the hole of the anthill.
Sam Sadowitz Someone already made a video on that a longgg time ago. Get some creativity.
I have three acres with plenty of fire ant mounds. I began using spectracide mound destroyer and it is working pretty well and it's not killing the grass.
ANT #1: "So get this Frank...then the guy pours BAKING SODA."
ANT #2: "So what did you guys do?"
ANT #1: "Nuthin. We were too busy laughing our @sses off."
ANT #3: “OH CRAP GUYS HER COMES THE VINEGAR.”
ANT #8: AHHH NO HE'S COMING WITH THE FIRE SOON
ANT #179836: welp the other 60 died let's go tell the queen to go find a new nest away from this vineiger ridden place
Riveting, original. A true masterpiece. Winner of 8 golden globes and the Sundance film festival. New York times calls it the greatest drama to hit the silverscreen.
R.I.P.
This man's yard.
Did u try a flame thrower?
Plastic fence ruled out any flame thrower action
The survivors then conducted guerilla warfare from the clover.

The people who disliked this video are the same people who wouldn't want bugs in their home..
Mark Abella no, I disliked this video because this guy is stupid as hell, and I'm angry for wasting 4 minutes of my life watching this shit. Then he has the nerve to say hey everybody I pour vinegar and baking soda on an ant pile in my yard, please subscribe to my channel. I hate all you guys
Mark Abella nah maybe people who hate killing ants disliked it.
If a four minute video on youtube about an experiment gets you upset, I feel like maybe you have some underlying issues that need to be solved.
i disliked because i don't want the ants to seek revenge lol
DayLight, that's the only acceptable reason. And, Jay, it's definitely time for you to seek counseling for your anger issues.
Good stuff ! This is the first video I have viewed. New subscriber, and thumbs up
Thank you!!!
People cheer when rats are slaughtered by farm dogs but get triggered when someone wipes out a colony of ants.
where are you basing these claims lmao???
CAF Sleepings
Look at the dislikes
CAF Sleepings the dislikes speak different
To be fair, I was pretty disgusted that someone posted the dog and rat video too
Look it up on youtube.
You're saying I didn't have to blow up my yard?
Water ants can easily put out fire ants. There's your solution 👌😎
Can you do a step by step tutorial on how to load water ants onto my save file? I tried doing it before, but my lawn kept crashing.
Genius get rid of the ants buy getting more ants mind blown💥
Where do you get water ants
KiKi Mamal r/outside
You can’t drown my demons, for they can swim.
I bet his whole backyard smells of vinegar to this day
The price I had to pay...
There is no baking soda! you will inform the senate that Anthill was destroyed in a mining accident
LOLOLOLOL Also, I can confirm there was no Russian involvement.
Keke
I get the reference
Lmao! I expect you not to rest until you can assure the Emperor that baking soda and vinegar is not compromised in any way.
Don't waste the baking soda and vinegar. My great grandfather say to tell you use boiling water next time.
Tayvin Thompson salt or bleach does it
Let gasoline soak for 1 minute then light on fire 🔥
Yes, fire is a wonderful idea. Toast them to death.
I was about to say the same thing, boiling water. Tried that method myself and killed a large colony of fire ants in my backyard.
jsp just poured boiling water on top? Or did you have to dig down in it and then put then pour water?
Everything was fine until the fire ant nation attacked.
Königstiger I’m soooo weak best freaking comment hands down
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
Xd
You could’ve just played them your music and they would’ve all buggered off
Nice movie but I still prefer the books
Yash Kamble yess funny
Please put up a memorial. I understand they were enemies but the lives lost during the war should be remembered.
Never forget the Battle on Red Ant Hill. A reminder that one can never have too much baking soda or vinegar.
Words to live by...
You...😶
You're better off using 2 gallons of water with an ounce of dawn dish detergent.
Thanks for the tip
