This topic has been covered quite extensively on here. The treatment is well known, very cheap and quite simple to do yourself. For about $80 you can have a couple years worth of treatment.
Buy the $60 bottle of Tango anywhere...read the county LFA website on how to mix it with corn oil, peanut butter, Xanthum gum (sp?) gum and water. It's not complicated and very easy to mix yourself. Get a bottle sprayer and spray the acre or 2 once a month for about 4 months. It is not an insecticide (not harmful to pets), it makes the queen infertile and takes time. Over a couple treatments, you will not have a fire ant on your property for a season or two. Spray every 2 months forever and you will never see one again.
Total cost = $80 for a year or two and you control the process.
