Good story regarding fire ants, Jim. Spending almost twenty years as a resident of Florida gave me a respect for the havoc fire ants can cause. Now-a-days though the problem isn't with fire ants, it's with the extreme right, the religious zealots, the crazy conspiracy freaks, the ones stupid enough to believe a lying sociopath who wishes to totally eliminate our democratic form of government and to replace it with his fascist dictatorship. So far, past POTUS D.J. Trump has been able to install a totally corrupt majority in our Justice system. A win by him in 2024 would see the end of everything all loyal American citizens have been working for. It's too bad there aren't more out there, such as you, to rally the ones with most to lose against the scourge of the poor, misguided dummies who know no better!
Why do those in responsible positions always seek to appoint people who have no background experience and no education in the particular field they're being appointed to. It happens everyday and no one ever seems to question it and the end results can be disastrous. You don't need to look very far to see this stupidity in action either.
Hysterical. Any race for TX Ag Commish has to pass the Fire Ant test. We got 'em here in AZ as well as plenty of other critters that sting & bite. The fire ants are the worst. That yellow granular stuff does the trick.
We used roofing tin around our squash patch. The squash bugs are attracted to the light and the reflection from the tin caused them to get lost and the buggers were unable to find the plants.
Went to stay with a friend in Palm Springs. Fire ants all over the kitchen (she had not been there for a while) out comes the pesticide. I yelled at her that she would be poisoning her own kitchen and I didn't want to eat in there.
Much anger later we used boiling water to the place where they were coming in. Finished.
the only thing they(Texas Government) care about is MONEY!!!!!!!! maybe you got through to the PEOPLE ---------but you still had to deal with the Government A**holes , they don"t listen much ----they only LOVE MONEY. Greedy Bastards that they are----to bad you didn't have enough for then to STEAL !, well DOG BLESS YOU FOR TRYING, you are a WINNER in my book. THANK YOU a blast from a past. HOT DAMN THANK DOG and thanks for your hard hard WORK.
Nice sound "bite!" For once, retribution by Nature on some idiot advocate of chemical warfare.
