easy-basically when the hills gets big enough, the wind blows the bones(is that what you’re using?) around and knocks the hill down…so it never gets too high ..heh…yea i read that post…forgot when though..lol

Close! Not so they don’t build it higher, but just so it stresses them. I move it all the time, so that the bones are directly over an entrance hole.

Does it work on Texas Fireants? I’m afraid I don’t have enough bones…

John Hamilton Farr April 27, 2012 at 4:45 pm: I believe napalm is appropriate for fire ants, but only a safe distance away from the house!
