@Waylon Joshua Definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
We just moved to Tennessee (south of Nashville) from Minnesota and have never had to deal with these critters. I wanted to thank you for an excellent demonstration that I just completed. I'm certain that we saved $$ from calling an exterminator. Everything happened just like you said it would. I will be back to see you when the next 'surprise' pops up.
I've just sprinkled this stuff on ant mounds dry and have had great results.
MANITENANCE DUDE, GREAT JOB ON ANT KILLING VIDEO! ITRIED IT AND IT WORK GREAT
I'm so glad you said to wait till the ant mound is not active. I literally just stepped in a fire ant mound while mowing and was ready to drown them in killer 😆. I also came to see if I could use it on my whole lawn but I don't want to kill my grass so I'll get something to treat the whole lawn separately. Side note your son's face......I thought it was only my kids that thought everything manual and work related was "trash" 🤣😂🤣😂
Good job dad! Jr. will thank you later 👍! I'm going to try this. I just moved into a new house and my yard is covered with fire ant mounds. I got in my car this morning to head to work only to discover they are now in my car!!!! I gotta do something fast! These ants are giving me the he-be- gee- be's not to mention blistering bites! It has only been three weeks! They are Savages!
tina yinyang make sure to treat entire lawn and the mounds also.
Thanks will do 😀
I am a 17 year old country boy I love yard work I love mowing my yard and I hate ants they hurt
The music at the end 😂😂😂😂 “he’s sad y’all” 💀 😂😂 Great video!!
Lol 😂
Thanks Bro!!
I heard a zipper sound thought I were gonna per on them! Lol
Thanks for the excellent instructions! Unfortunately I live in S. Florida so our winters dont kill anything!
I have fire ant mounds. Will definitely try Ortho fire ant killer. Thanks
I use gasoline. 🤷🏾♂️ and they die immediately. I pour some right in the middle. Maybe this is wrong🤔 but I have been doing this for some summers now. after 5 minutes no activity from the ants. The next day I flatten out the mount and it's like it's was never there.🤷🏾♂️
Ok so update now that I care about my lawn 😆 I think I'm going to use another solution. I wonder if there is a way we can spread something on the lawn to prevent or kill the ants before the mount grows. I'll check out that video you talked about
Good job Dad,
Thanks for the help
Thank you. Tis was thorough simple and very informative.
Video starts at 10:00
Exactly 😃
I’m now going to retract my measuring device.
dug my garden out tonight along the walls pulling the earth back and revealed holes in the brick work underneath , that houses colonies of ants
So if you have them in gardens try pulling the earth back anywhere where earth meets wall and paving slabs I found 6 nests in about an hour and a half in fact about 8 nests
Then when you find them use fair liquid with water in a pump spray bottle and it kills them in about 5 to ten seconds
I’ve had a fire ant bite me or whatever on the foot because i was wearing flip flops I can honestly say I’d rather go to nfl tryouts wearing sandpaper underwear then feel that pain again glad the only ones that got hurt were those nasty things
Ortho white powder. If the chemical don’t kill them, the dang smell will!!!! Lol
Glyn Robinson check out the update vid on I G :-)
I hate that scent. The white powder smells like old cabbage 😞😞
Thank you! I have been doing all wrong. Great video!
Orthene ortho fire ant one 12 ounce will kill over 160 and kills in 90 minutes . Do not need to water with gallons of water and it’s cheap not 8 mounds like this product 160 mounds for 12 oz powder . Don’t apply before rain I know that’s hard in Florida .
I am one with nature until it begins to cross the path of my every day living. I don’t even kill spiders being that they are good luck there is even a story in the Bible how the spiders hid Saul I believe if I’m correct and covered huge cave opening. I’m that guy too. Great video guys
Homes look beautiful!
Good job bro! Dad and Jr BYD great going 👍
Thanks Robert 👍🏾👍🏾
I appreciate your advice. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Thank goodness I found this channel! I’m a NYC gal that unfortunately got stuck in Florida and I’m completely overwhelmed. I have no idea how to keep up with fire ants. I have 2 huge mounds and I’m going to follow these instructions carefully. I’m going to wake up at 7am and do exactly what you did. I’m not afraid for me because I’d never go to the yard!😳😬 But I do have a large dog and I don’t want to see him hurt!
I miss my apartment and concrete sidewalks so much!😭😉
Thank you so very much. I can easily follow the instructions on the video. Thanks again!👍🏻😊
Thanks!
Thanks for the Support 👍🏾
I appreciate this and thanks for watching. Sorry about those spammers 👍🏾
Thank you for this!!!!!!
Nice beautiful home & yard, sir. Thanks for the review. 👍
Thank You For Sharing This Video Very Helpful😁
Junior aint feeling it!!!!
I got two just like him!
Good stuff, Thanks
Great video and instruction!
You’re welcome
Lol well I should have watched this before I applied the product. I sprinkled way too much on top. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ thanks for sharing

Thank you!
excellent video...thank you
Love tbe video I'm glad to come across this ❤
Thanks for watching Angela, make sure to subscribe
I like that product. I love ADVION also. It is expensive but it has worked in the front yard. Both take diligence.
catbirdfeeder yeah I have another Yard Fanatic that loves Advion also, says he gets awesome results also.
Bermuda Grass Central they both take persistence...it's like whack a mole...you kill em and they pop up over there! But eventually we win the war with diligence. Papa used diazinon....of course anything that works the left takes it away from us.
catbirdfeeder you went way back with diazinon, one application and you were finished :-)
There was also a real killer called Dursban if I’m spelling it right. I used to get mine at a Lesco wear house and they banned it like 15-20 years ago. It would kill everything.
Bermuda Grass Central you are absolutely right Dursban...don't tell anyone but I found two large containers of both products in daddy's shop...he grew vegetables.
So I'm watching old videos. You know I'm excited for season to start. And red solo cup BYD? I know we family for sure now. Lol
Lol, what video are you watching?
NVM 😂
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral just finished watching Milorganite vid from 2017. You have me watching Ron Henry now. I aspire to get to his level of excellence. I’m still avg homeowner. Lol
Put borax and sugar with hot water and put it on the ant hill
Do you have to wear gloves, long sleeves, long pants, a mask and protective eyewear when putting out this stuff?
That optional 👍🏾
On ant extermination duty today. Preciate the post. Ants begone!
Izzy8u check out this video also, skip to 9:15 part czcams.com/video/qAK73arlFH4/video.html
Thank you for such a thorough explanation! I would have ended up disturbing it before I poured it on. How is BYD Jr. doing these days? After I watched Ant Bully several years ago, it bothers me to kill black ants, but I'm terrified of fire ants! And they are horrible in NC this year!!
BLACK ANTS YOU MEAN SUGAR ANTS 😂😅
They should call this stuff ''ant mover'' because it doesn't kill the ants. It just moves the mound a few feet away and the ants start another mound.
😂😂
Crush thy ants🐜🐜🐜...lol
oh wow what a great video!!!!
Danny V thanks Danny 👍🏾
i use that!
He kept beating that dead horse
And you watched it all, thanks 👍🏾
👍👍👍👍
How will the product work on the area where you didn’t apply water?
This product requires to be watered in for best results but there are other that don’t require you to water 💦 in product.
How long did this take b4 u saw results?
Chocolate same day results after I watered it in but don’t disturb mound for at least a week
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thanks
Thank you so much for such a helpful video! What if I already disturbed the ant mound and sprayed insect spray on all the fire ants I saw? Is it too late for this and do I have to wait for the mound to re-form?
No not at all. You can still do this.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral thank you.
Any tips for finding the ant mound. I live in so cal and my backyard has hills and a lot of dirt and rocks. There’s red ants on my dogs food, but I can’t find the mound or ant hole.
John Jan you have to treat the entire lawn for this situation.
I remember 20yrs ago there was a tall tube that u turn the top 180° and sprinkle the granules wherever ants wer present and within seconds ud see the ants twitching and then dead. It didnt matter what kind of ant species, didnt matter what time of day it was, if we wer playing and seen a bunch of ants, just get the stuff and sprinkle it on the ants and done. Now its a bunch of instructions and steps and waiting and its only for one type of ants. Now, i just pour gas on em and done as done.
BYD I need your help. I got a Bermuda lawn that is having some issues here in Conyers GA.
therrell lyon I’m currently overbooked due to these CZcams videos, currently looking to hire an extra guy, but what’s the issue I may be able to help you this way?
How many feet? Lol
I HATE ANTS EVERY KIND OF ONE don’t be sad lololol
So I stepped in a ant pile my dad called the police XD
Your dad aint too bright.
Great video what is the name of the video with you doing the whole yard?

How to kill a fire ant Mound for free! Takes minutes.
Get a 3 foot thin round Rod. Poke it near center of mound till you locate a soft deeper spot. That's where the Queen lives. Poke the rod into the dirt marking the position of the her. Now go to get the pot of boiling water U prepared on the stove! (wicked grin)
Return to the mound covered by pissed off fire ants attacking your rod. Pour the boiling water in that position. Remove the rod and then slam the rod on the ground to shed it of pissed off ants.
The next day you'll see millions of dead bodies and a few live that soon will die without a queen. The dead grass will re-root and grow back. The total cost is about 10 min of your
time and a pot of boiling water.
I live in Florida. for 42 yrs I kill a mound when I see one.
Unless you have many mounds. It takes a while for the dead grass to grow back so you will have spots of dead grass for a while but if that doesn’t bother you, go for it. It is really ugly. I’d say go a different route.
use white vinegar under 3 dollars a gallon works fast , windex works too
David Eyestone really?? Seriously? And they don’t come back?
Any thoughts on treating the whole yard with Termidor?
mel aldridge haven’t tried that product yet , I’ll look into that though, thanks.
use granules if you want to treat a whole yard
Does this work on black ants? Has anyone tried it
I live on the coast of Australia in a rainforesty kind of area, Ive got a big issue with funnel ants, Ive tried alot of things, Ive got thousands of little mounds in my yard and have tried everything, do you got any tips on how I can get rid them, there little nasty little bastards that never surface, they also bite pretty hard
John Tovey ouch 🤕
Use ant poison
Biffen L/P same active ingredient as most retail products but higher concentrate, I've had seen results in an hour
Is there a product to create a barrier to prevent fire ants??
andrew czcams.com/video/7HHMo14hJMk/video.html
I kick it first then add ant killer.water not needed
Oops. Should have watched this first. I disturbed it and poured the whole bag over it. You’re right, a lot got away I’m sure. I did pour some around the mound. Hate fire ants. Their mean.
oh my, that was the worst waste of ant killer, you only need to sprinkle a small amount around the mound and the workers carry it down into the nest and feed it to the drones and queen, thereby killing off the complete nest.
normdoty definitely will do that next time. 😐 We have so so many mounds.
Global Threat And its summer and they are back again. There are mounds that are so large and high from the ground. Have to watch every step small, medium and major large mounds.
How long does it take to kill the ants? There seems to be hundreds of ants walking around after the ant poison is applied. I’ve seen orange oil videos where the ants seem to be killed immediately.
Dave Borchard after about 3 hours gone, after a day I didn’t see any more in mound.
@@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral How often do you have to kill the fire ant mounds? How long do they stay gone after you kill them all? Do they stay gone for weeks, or months, or years? Have you tried using boiling water or the orange oil method? I'm trying the sugar and borax on regular ants. The tiny red ants eat that and die within 1 to 3 days, but the medium and larger black ants aren't very attracted to that poison. We don't have fire ants in the snow belt, but we have to prepare for them when we move to Florida.
Dave Borchard a month or so but if you treat mounds and entire lawn you can get control for entire season. If you use boiling water you’ll kill the grass in that spot for the entire season. Haven’t tried oils.
Doesnt work. Did same thing for two weeks and ants are still there. Big red harvester ants.
Crap dont work🤫🤫🤐🤐
Thank you!!
Thank you!
