2. Yeah

They are most active in the spring, but are usually around all year.

Their mounds look like this



While you can use a fire ant treatment that contains Diazinon, I found this method, which uses carbon dioxide, would be curious to try it.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Insert several pounds of dry ice or inject the dense gas which is one and a half times heavier than air (use a 20# cylinder of CO2 with 12 foot of hose and a 3’ - 4’ pipe attached) into the fire ant mound and it moves downward killing all worker ants, larvae and the queen. There is no odor or warning as the CO2 gas silently replaces the air in the entire chamber and any connecting tunnels or chambers or mounds. CO2 is not harmful to plants or lawns and after killing the fire ants in the mound, CO2 returns back into the air.

President after all.

[LynneSin]

26. Well, if he does vote, it'll be for Bush anyways

Not that he'd knowingly go in there and vote for Bush, but because he'll hit the button for the democratic candidate and the computer will register Bush anyways!
