Meanwhile in Australia ...

As if the drop bears weren't enough to worry about ...

In Texas, we spray beneficial nematodes on the ground and the fire ants disappear. We also avoid their mounds.

@TexChik Orange oil sprayed on the nests will kill them quickly too

@TexChik @cherokeepatti Chemical warfare at it's best!! 🤣

@sarabee1995 quick fix. Nematodes last for years

There's a product that I once used that gives the queen constipation. It takes about a week. Yet it's effective. 🤣

sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP

@DeWayfarer So she dies of constipation??? 🤔

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@sarabee1995 apparently explodes from it

https://www.amdro.com/all-products/fire-ant-bait

Amdro Fire Ant Killer for Mounds™ is made from corn grit. When it gets wet, the bait becomes soggy and is no longer appealing to the fire ants. The longer you can keep the area dry, the better the chances you have of the bait being picked up and carried back to the colony. We recommend applying the product when rain is not expected within 24 hours.

I missed this entire thread?
The stalking 'replies' algorithm is all over the place hasn't worked properly in months.

@KiwiBird Lol, yeah I've noticed that too. I've missed some posts from people I follow. 🤷‍♀

Did you see @Stephie's comment here?

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@sarabee1995 Yes and also the date...like three or more weeks ago. I may or may not respond.

Another reason to stay home.

sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP

@Degbeme Oh like Canada has nothing that wants to kill you!!! 🐻‍❄

Stephie · 22-25, F

Our KiwiBird does not bite! 🤨

Those must be fake news to discredit her. Shame on you. I thought you would be past that stage 🥴

@Thinkerbell Ostriches are a no no. They run faster than me. Emus are ok. I can outrun them 🤣

Thinkerbell · 41-45, F

@Stephie

You're Olympic sprinter material... 🤭

Stephie · 22-25, F

@Thinkerbell Not yet but if I let ostriches run after me, I may be the queen of ducking 😄

Fire ants, a gift from the USA... :(

I wonder if they attack cane toads?

sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP

@walabby Really? They came from here? Must be down south. 🤔 I've never seen one.

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

@sarabee1995 Original origin is brazil if I remember correctly, came in on shipments of wood to the southern US.

walabby · M

@sarabee1995 Yep. First seen around shipping containers at some ports.

Longpatrol · 31-35, M

Wow even after all that impressive bio-control even Oz isn't immune...

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Longpatrol Practically impossible to have 100% immunity

@vetguy1991 Not a spirit animal... Now, if he had stolen 18 Bundaburg rums, he would be! XD
