I was listening to the You Bet Your Garden Podcast, and they interviewed the Dirt Doctor, Howard Garret of Texas. He said Fire Ants do not like Mistletoe. You can make a tea of it and dump it down the hole, decorate the mound with it, or shred it up and sprinkle it all over.
They also do not like compost tea and dried molasses. These nasty buggers abhor the soil life that is created by the addition of organic matter in their home.
These ants did not become a problem the Dr. said until people started using chemicals to get rid of them.
Has anyone heard of this technique, or poked around his website? Please share what you have learned!
Here is a link to a video he did on another method. If it doesn't link, copy and paste it:
