I do have 1 big one and a number of much smaller ones, of the smaller ones i barked maybe 1/2.
For the big 1 what kind of poison? how many holes. Tree is maybe 5 feet diameter.
As far as clearing and driveways there's a definite consensus so ill follow that advice.
Any fruit tree recommendations beyond avocado and bananas, and yes already got fire ants..

Avocados grow like weeds, Can get a start or some other trees. banana trees are cheap. Get some starts from someone that knows what they are doing or it will be iffy if the trees grow any fruit or any good fruit at that! You'll be surprised how fast the trees take off, better make some sort of property map so you can strategically place the trees. Fruit tree's attract fire ants and all kinds of nasty pest if your not around to pick up after a bumper crop of any type fruit that falls on the ground.
Never clear a driveway or any type of clearing unless you want...
a) trash dumps!
b) squatters!
c) albizia and other junk trees.
Keep the native trees and plantings growing until you move here.
Some people have great intentions of thinking they will come twice a year... in reality, lucky to make it over once a year if ever. Those plane tickets are expensive.
Good Luck!
