LFA - again

Seems like a bad year for fire ants to me. We'd had a few a couple years ago, and Amdro seemed to have handled it. We bought a house in Ainaloa to rent to our daughter, and they are pretty thick there. I've been doing a lot of work up there, and I had some lumber stacked on the concrete car port. They seem to love it underneath said lumber. I'm at war with them, and they are expiring in large numbers. It's a multi-pronged attack. Amdro, the little ant traps you buy in many store, a clear liquid called Terro, and some spray called Home Defense around both houses. The bites are painful from such a tiny critter. I don't get big welts or anything though. I am not surprised that a new thread was started on this. I was thinking of starting one too to see how bad it is with others.
