After recent mowing of side fields and rain we are at last seeing fire ant mounds – why is this good news, surely it’s better to not see fire ants? Well, just cause you don’t seem them doesn’t mean they are not there! When in drought they go deep and they are very difficult to locate – plus we know they are in this field because we have seen them before. Actually, one of the reasons for treating this section of field is due to high activity we saw when we purchased the property and after finding the stranded baby owl that was attacked by fire ants.

Earlier on this year I walked the same trail and only came across a handful of mounds. Today Noleen and I treated 122 mounds!
