Fire ants invade Texas triggering two step control plan
The Texas extension service outlines a two step method to curb fire ants with broad cast bait over yards followed by mound drenches. Baits use processed corn grits with soybean oil and kill the queen. Organic options exist and boiling water can help but carry risks. The pests arrived in the US and now infest about 56 million acres in Texas.
