I passed it on, I did make a couple minor modifications. Cairo syrup seem to work just as well as the molasses. Actually it was a combination of the two with very little molasses. And I sprinkled the area with dimethius EarthShame to hear. I saved the ingredients for a good home made kill recipe for red ants posted byBLIP a while back.
When the method is done properly with the orange soap from Tractor Supply three cups added to a gallon of water and two cups of Karo syrup spray around the area completely saturating it and then force a tunnel down in the middle. The dimetheus is very helpful you just let it soak in and sprinkle a handful over the mound. It kills what goes in it kills what goes out and the queen is stuck in that hole
How sad :*(
Ants hate Dawn dish soap.

For those that don't know: fire ants bite, but they bite to get a hold and then sting with a "stinger" from their abdomen like a wasp. It's not the normal formic acid bite that people are allergic to, it's the toxin in the "sting" that is allergenic, similar to the stuff in a bee or wasp sting.
I don't know....this stuff kills the ever loving shieet out of them, and you just buy it at the hardware store...I'm just say'n....
