that some of the very best targets are right in the middle of a fire ant nest??? :biggrin: -----I've had this happen more times than I can remember.--You are intently digging a target when all of a sudden you "notice" the things (fire ants) all over your arms, legs & feet.--Half of them looking for bare skin & the other half already found it & starting to "sting away".---Next is a lot of fast movements (on your part)-Jumping up (but quick), knocking them off your arms & legs and stomping your feet (not the happy dance)! :jump:---But it does provide some great entertainment for any casually observing bystanders! :lol: ----Ain't no bug chasein me off my target--might be a Bust dime--never has been before but it might be this time!! :thumbup: -----How about it--any of you guys have this (or like) things happen?---Or am I the only nut in the fish bowl?? :lmfao: ----------Del
 
I don't detect fire ant mounds so I won't be tempted to dig. Those little suckers hurt!!!
 
No fire ants in this part of the country only wood ticks.
I,d take a long handle shovel and spread that ant hill apart to find that target.
What I,ve done on some black ant hills on my lawn is pour gas over it and threw a match at it
that 'll get rid of them in a hurry unfortunately also leaves a burnt up spot.
 
Out here in Kansas fire ants have been known to collect indian beads and take them to their mound. My friends grandad collected quite a few of them that way. He said he got bit quite a few times though.
 
Del, I'm with you, fella. Here in south Arkansas, we run into them critters often. But, worse than that.... a couple of years ago, I dug into a yellow jacket nest. Them things are tenacious as well...... chased me on a sprained ankle a couple of hundred yards...... got hit 6 times!
 
Here's how to get rid of ants; Light up your Acetylene torch. Adjust it for a nice Rosebud. Strike off that Rosebud by striking it on the ground. Stick the torch tip in the ant hill for a minute or so. Re-light the torch, and wave over the ant hole. You'll hear a loud popping noise. Bye Bye Ants :angel:

I've seen my dad do this on numerous occasions, worked every time :thumbup:

I don't think I'd leave the non-lighted torch tip in the hole TOO long :rofl:
