still hating on the fire ants
I am saddened to report that Amdro, the only product I have ever found that kills fire ants, doesn�t seem to be wiping out this year�s furious invasion of fire ants. On an apparently-defunct bird care site, I read that cider vinegar can disrupt the hormones of ants. Hmmm. I have long known that if you put a dab of white vinegar on a fire ant bite within 10 minutes of being bitten, you won�t get a red bite mark there, and it won�t itch. It will be like you never got bit. I�ve always understood that this was because vinegar neutralized formic acid, which is what makes ant bites sting. So�since I have a small bottle of cider vinegar for cooking, and a huge, honking, oversized, I-can-barely-lift-it bottle of white vinegar for cleaning and treating fire ant bites, I decided to pour a whole lot of white vinegar on an ant hill that has failed to respond to Amdro. Because it�s getting scary out there, and you do NOT want fire ants messing with your Peachfront Conures or any other birdies. I also washed the entire floor of the bird porch, first with regular soap and water, but then afterward with lots of white vinegar. Take that, fire ants! I�ll report back.
