I think I met some little fire ants today

Dory Gray...Just got back from Walmart & bought the sprinkler bag of Amdro. They also had the same sized bag of the Terro Brand.

Walmart sprinkler bag sounds better as I can't find my hand spreader. Thanks

Oh, P.S. I possibly brought the LFA home in MULCH from the Hilo dump. I never had them before and they are only where I put the mulch. I "cooked" the mulch under a black tarp for a week & thought that would sterilize it - guess not!

Updated version about Tango. Did not realize the fire ants only consume liquids!

We have the B&G bait stations that I got online...Ordered them with the PPS 2A (ant only) base. These are good for liquid, gel or granular bait, & were recommended by the Ag guys that ID'ed our LFA's for use out in the orchard with Amdro (the cover keeps the rain out, but obviously cannot place them in a low area that has water pooling or running through)...so I purchased an order of them....

How did you buy them? I went to their web site and they don't sell the bait stations or components.

I got them a couple of years ago on ebay...can't find them now, but have heard CPS on Leilani in Hilo may sell them...

If you would like to try a few, we have some here (along with coffee tree & palm seedlings)
