Abstract/Contents: | Responds to a question about how to keep fire ants off a home lawn before they start to build mounds. Describes the "Texas Two-Step Method", a control program developed at Texas A&M University. States that "the first step is to scatter fire ant bait, which contains food plus an insecticide, over the lawn...Second, treat the problem mounds, using a mound treatment." Explains that lawns can easily become reinfested if neighbors do not also control fire ants. |
