What's the best 'natural' way to kill fire ants?

Boiling Water First, you'll need to know where the mound is. Then wait for a sunny, cool day and look for them to be at their most active. Then get about 3 gallons or so of really boiling water ready and march right out to that hill.

Pour the boiling water slowly over their hill (being very careful not to burn yourself). Www.fireant. Net recommends that you "try to collapse as much of the mound as possible while pouring" in order to do a thorough job - and that's it!

You may need to repeat this if you didn't get the queen. She will start the colony all over again if she's left alive. But with any luck you can get her pretty quickly.

Good luck, and be careful! Sources: Master Gardener Training, fireant.net/Control/ .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
