I noticeD that even in this weather they're still building tall dusty
cones in the cracks of my old concrete barn floor.

hmmm, i wonder if this is what's underneath?


Gasoline works great...even on fire ants....


You may wish to be carefull with gasoline in the barn floor.

Once I had a good idea to get rid of yelow jackets. I was mowing the
yard and came across the hole in the ground for their nest. Being a
good father of two little girls under 4, I knew I had to get rid of it.
I dumped about a quart gas into the hole. I mowed a few minutes more,
and decided more was needed. It occured to me the best way to insure
they were gone was to burn them out. I touched a match to the hole and
fire shot out of the ground in several spots around the yard.
Fortunately there was no holes under or close to the house and no
children near any of the holes.
