jeeeze. I got a garden tractor wagon from someone down here, and turned that upside down and hornets or wasps flew out. They took an entire can of carb cleaner, but the wagon was free to a good home so i guess it was worth it

I would think that Tempo SC made by Bayer would kill them off in a good broad application.

Just what I wanted to hear. When James and I married, there were no fire ants in e. Tx. My FIL thought I was nuts until they invaded and he found out first hand what a pain, literally, they are. The only good thing about the fire ants spreading to e. Tx is they decimated the tick and scorpion population. I think they also had a big hand in the loss of the quail population. While I"m glad there"s something that will take out the fire ants naturally, I"m not thrilled about a new species of ant that is pesticide resistant.

And yes, for some reason the fire ants love electrical stuff. They will get into your a/c unit and fry the contacts and and cause all kinds of problems. They fry themselves, too, but not before they damage your a/c unit.
