Well,its almost 11pm and this is my first blog ever.I am new to this but might as well get started.I am the Fire Ant Control Team,Inc I am treating a private school for fire ants with our traps. When i survey the property i found 49 fire ant mounds. I placed 49 traps out the first week on May 16 and now today I have only10 traps left and with new mounds found over the last few weeks for a total of 62 fire ant mounds,I have eradicated 52 mounds. It is great because it rained a few hours after placing the first set out. the pesticide inside was protected. at another house i survey i found 28 fire ant mounds on 1 acre of land.,after placing 28 traps down after the first week i had 20 mounds dead. It had rained3-4 hours after placing the traps down that evening.Using dry bait poison with the trap you are pretty well guarantee the workers ants will take the bait to the queen,once she is gone the mound dies.The school i have saved them from 1,040 new fire ant mounds that would have developed if the mounds have been left alone since each mound will make 20 new mounds a year. going to bed will write soon.
