Default Fire Ants Remedy
Here is an environmentally friendly cure for fire ants that has been announced on the Georgia Gardner radio program. Testimonials that it REALLY WORKS are coming in. Simply pour two cups of CLUB SODA (carbonated water) directly in the center of a fire ant mound. The carbon dioxide in the water is heavier than air and displaces the oxygen which suffocates the queen and the other ants. The whole colony will be dead within about two days.

Here's the good side: Club soda leaves no poisonous residue, does not contaminate the ground water, and does not indiscriminately kill other insects. Each mound must be treated individually and a one liter bottle of club soda will kill 2 to 3 mounds.

Spread the word. ( I have not personally done this since there are no fire ants where I live, but my relatives in Florida sent me this.) We are future Villagers.
