Anyone ever noticed where fireants like to make their mounds? It didn't occur to me til my daughter- in- law pointed out that there are none in her St. Augustine grass (there are usually no more than two at a time in mine) and a friend of hers has none in her St. Augustine, only in the rest of her yard. I've recently treated over two dozen mounds in our Bermuda grass. |

On about one acre of my six, I have St. Augustine. The fire ants are minimal in the St Augustine but I just recently killed a medium sized mound right in the middle of some very healthy grass. The ants do seem to prefer loose grasses. I take care of the St. Augustine organically & nature handles the rest, so this is not a fair comparison. |

Thanks. We've been organic for about five years and all of our yard areas have been treated pretty much the same under normal circumstances. Guess I need to look into finding a dense growing sun loving grass. |
