    These ants are horrible! I know a lady that came out of her house one morning, acidently tripped down her stairs outside and fell into a fire ant nest. She actually broke both ankles on her way down and the ants attacked her terribly. She tried to get up, but couldn&apos;t. Her neighbor saw her and was able to get her away from the nest and brush the ants off, but at that point she was unconscious. The ambulance came, took her to the ER and had to stay in critical care for 2 months. Only God has allowed her to be with us today. I highly recommend nipping those ants in the bud as quickly as possible. I love your remedy-thank you!!

    True story – my brother was washing his car, at the end of the driveway was a small fire ant mound. As he washed his car, the stream of soapy water going down the driveway also went into the fire ant mound. 10 minutes later he was getting stung by hundreds of them. They quietly marched up the stream and when enough of them were in his proximity they began to sting at once.

    My son got a shovel full of ants and dirt from an ant bed and dropped them into another ant bed in the yard. They fought each other. The ant bed the ants were dropped into disappeared. I guess the invaders won.

    Elias you are truly a blessing. I’m 76, and I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you and your family for teaching us. I grew up in the city. Massachusetts. But my son in Florida sometimes has fire ants. We need to be careful how we handle these situations. Leaving the earth in good order. Best wishes. Grateful and blessed. ♥️♥️🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

    Very small red ants popped up in my back yard and I sprinkled cinnamon powder over their trail and hole, they &nbsp;never made it back again. Same in a field where we had a space at the flea market, we sprinkled cinnamon all over and they started down and we did not get stung anymore.

    I’m hoping you see my comment: I saw fire ants along my property line and neighbors farm, property line is 15 feet from my WELL There is a buried rock wall about 3 ft high, about 5 feet wide &nbsp;that runs along the farm.the year &nbsp;before I saw a bunch of fire ants about 15 ft in the length <br>Because my well is right there., I did dish soap with a feeder that connects to the house, stayed on the porch shooting it, it shoots about 20 feet., I ran the hose off n on to give my water pump and well a break., did it for about 5 hours, first day, pull a bunch of rocks away from the wall, to get further in, repeated it next day and the next. I’m thinking …. Maybe that whole area became a mound. <br><br>Yes as you said, it drowned them., but only the surface ones. <br>I did do the diamose earth stuff, sprinkle on top all over.<br>I was told safe for pets and was crushed sea shells, so it wouldn’t hurt my well.<br><br>After watching your video the only thing that I can think of is…… getting some pvc pipe or metal pipe., maybe 4 ft length and banging a bunch of those all over the area and driving them hopefully 2 ft in the ground., at least a 2” opening then get a bunch of pots boiling and pour into the pipes hoping they will get some tunnels.<br><br>What do you think?<br><br>I don’t have much of a choice will the well so close.<br><br>Thank you for your educational video., thank you for your time

    I also remember as a teenager my dad having to call 911 when we lived in fort Lauderdale Florida. And motorcycle list had lost control of his motorcycle crashed the motorcycle in front of the mobile home park we lived in and landed in a huge firing colony. &nbsp;Needless to say that young man did not survive due to all of the ant bites he received. By the time my dad noticed him and called 911, he was already gone, died from the ant bites.

    I live in Texas &amp; don’t have this problem but love and appreciate these tips. &nbsp;My problem is FLIES!!! Wasps &amp; spider nests and a nest that is made of what looks like mud in the eaves of the house. Ants are a small problem. I will look in your videos for answers to how to deal with these pests as I am spending lots on svcs that come every two weeks to<br>Spray harmful chemicals in my lawn that I’d like to end. &nbsp;Thank you again.
