: I live in the country and we have a big problem with fire ants. I am worried about them making their beds around the bottoms of my trees and destroying the roots. What may I use on them to help me move them away from my trees? I need something that is not harmful to pets, for I have 3 nosey little doggies.
Thank you for your help.
I have tons of fire ants and just went to the co-op and they told me to use Amdro. It is a fine granular type and they told me to use a hand seed spreader
to spread it around the mounds. They told me this is the only thing to kill the Queen. The ants carry it back to the Queen and she dies..... I have tried everything else. I think the granules are too small for your dogs to get into.
Good Luck.
