Hi! I live in Florida and of course everyone knows there are the pesky fire ants here. I have a few large mounds in my small yard and they are starting to come in the house. I already sprinkled baby powder around the house, but what can I use outside? I heard about boiling water but I’m scared to stand next to the mounds and pour the water as they will scatter and bite right?

I have tried orange oil and it will kill them that you spray it ON but has no residual killing power or repellent.
I have tried DE and it doesn’t seem to do much.
What could I use to get rid of them that’s preferably organic?
Yes I could get a spray especially for fire ants that wouldnt harm chickens if I knew of one.

I moved recently to Fort Rucker which is in Lower Alabama (LA), and I saw some red ant piles, and I was wondering if there are fire ants in these parts?

I had a dream that I was in a tide pool with sand at the bottom and there were fire ants crawling on the sand both in and out of the water. It was actually painful and the only way to get to the other side of the water was to swim across without stepping on the bottom if you didn’t want to be stung. Can anyone tell me what this dream means?
Thanks in advance!

The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is an invasive species in the Southern USA, originally being native in South America. The species disperses rapidly and eliminates in the US native insect species respectively native fire ants. Nests can be found nearly everywhere, on cemeteries as well as in private yards or along the streets. The hurtful sting of a worker can cause allergic reactions. To become able to control this ant, all kinds of knowledge about its biology are needed. Not so much is known about cohabitants inside the ant nests. Many arthropods and other small animals are known to be regular coresidents in ant nests. Some studies about the biodiversity in the nests of S. invicta were already done. Often, there is not so much known about the biology of discovered species. Several species of mites live in the fire ant nests. Some belong to the Astigmata. At least 3 species of Histiostomatidae (subgroup of the Astigmata) were discovered. They obviously all represent new species. A colleague and me, weI described Histiostoma blomquisti as a new species. Many details about its biology/ecology are still unknown. We know that the phoretic dispersal stage, the deutonymph, attaches only active queens and female alates (only accidentally sometimes males). Female alates are used as carriers for the phoretic transport. They carry the mites from one nest into a new one. That way they act as a kind of stowaways. They leave the ants inside the nest to continue their …
