I don't know what borax is but if you spread some
and poison that ants will take to there nest like
AMDRO it should get rid of them pretty quickly if
they are the spiecies commonly called the fire
ant (about 1 mm long with gards 2mm's long and
winged ants 3-4mm's long red and black)
 
 
as long as I'm on the subject...
 
Why don't the pest control org's introduce like a
ants varroa/trachal mite to get rid of these fire
ants?
 
My uncle said that they had one but were afraid
of what it would eat after eating the ants.
 
Are there any ways that ants help out more then
they hurt?
