Battle Fire Ant 2008

It's ON!!!

I was out planting in my front yard a few days ago and was stung by fire ants. First of the season.

Last year I lost the fire ant battle. They built a house in the lot next to ours and that drove over all the fire ants to our yard towards the end of summer. Well, this year all the lots in my subdivision are already built so I'm sending those fire ants back to the lot in which they came.

So I drove down to Home Depot (I am going to be very happy when Lowe's opens up here at the end of March, so much closer) and bought a big ol' bag of fire ant stuff. Enough to treat 25,000 sq ft lot. Never mind that our lot is only like 16,000 sq ft. I filled my spreader with the fire ant stuff and started spreading. I spread every single last morsel of that fire ant stuff on my lawn.

I WILL win this year. It's personal.
