Killing fire ant colony under house - concrete slab so no crawl space
Our bug guy came out yesterday and sprayed a chemical around the pipes in the kitchen and both bathrooms that will pretty much kill the ants on contact. The sand traps still have Termidor which will hopefully keep them at bay there, but we'll see if this along with some extra bait along side the house will work.
The bug guy did suggest that when the weather gets to the 70's and 80' to put some potato chips on the ground around the house and see if the ants come out to forge. If so put some Amdro around the area and see if they pick that up to carry back to the nest. If we can definitively get some of that to the queen(s) that should hopefully knock out the colony.
But thus far we're seeing fewer and fewer ants each week, so hopefully the spray he put down yesterday will help keep them at bay for the time being anyway.
