Our yard (Spartanburg) had quite a few mounds when we moved in. Husbands been treating them so we’re getting better!
We haven’t had mounds for long time but ants r still all over the yard since we have wooded area right behind the house so the ants r keep coming over, sneak up on u and bite the hell out of people and pets.
The big problem I've had with fireants in the past has been that even if I treat the mounds, if my neighbors don't then the colony persists and they keep coming back.
The recommended way of treating seems to be a widespread broadcast treatment plus baiting of individual mounds as they pop up.
I’m going to throw a plug for Do It Yourself in Taylors. They gave me exactly what I needed to get rid of them this summer. I spent about $60 for a bottle of concentrated Talstar and a sprayer. I hosed down every mound in my yard in May and have only seen 2 small mounds reappear since, which I’ve since taken care of. All of those mounds in your yard are controlled by one queen. If you don’t kill her, the ants just relocate to another part of the yard.
