Fire ants are evil incarnate. You can't kill them dead enough for me.

At my rural property, I like to pour a cup or two of kerosene on their mounds, let it soak in for a minute, and strike a match.

I love the smell of roasted fire ants in the morning. Smells like victory.

Oh the Hum-ANT-ity!!!

I always grin when hearing that Ortho radio commercial where the announcer a bit too cheerily talks about killing the fire ants. "It kills the queen, and then they all die! All of 'em, all dead! Yippee!" (slightly paraphrased...)

Kick fire ant butt!

We've tried the Orthene powder and the the Over and Out- which was a bit pricey but it cut down the number of mounds we had to treat.

It's too bad you are allergic to fire ants. You have this great big fire and you can't make roasted marhsmallows or smores with it.

A busy sidewalk in front of my parents old house in S.Fla. used to have a dead lizard or two on it every day from being nailed by bicycles. The fire ants would feast these lizzardss and strip them down to skeltons in about 1/2 a day.

You need to try using some dry instant grits. Pour the box out in a circle around the mound and it gets carried back to the queen where she eats it and explodes from the expansion. Once the queen is gone, the rest follow.
