Until late last summer we’ve always had chickens. They may have kept them down.
Those are great too!
Chicken tractor for the win!
Fortunately, fire ants are apparently not a kentucky thing, or not much of one. At last according to this:
I think y’all mostly get too cold some winters for them. They don’t like cold weather.
One of our projects this summer is rechickening and building a tractor for them.
Peak Oil! Doom and Gloom!
Oilprice.com has its share of alarmists.
Sounds like Glenn Beck in 2010.
Better buy more surplus MREs and a ton of gold.../s
Chigger removal by fire ant
It’s apparently a thing.
Read some document from texas dept of ag.
Chiggers tear me up. They don’t touch my wife. I have to wear pants and boots in the yard in the summer. She wears sandals.
I’ve used sulfur and bug repellent and anything else. Even leaning out of a chair and touching the ground gets chigger bites on my arm.
We have fire ants too. They sting and leave bumps but that’s not chigger bad!
Get chickens :)
