When I lived in Alabama, there was a fire ant mound about every 20 yards. My ten acres had hundreds of them everywhere. Wish I had seen this a few years ago. Very cool.

It is an awful expensive way to kill ants.

I wonder if 2000 years from now if scientists will be cutting them open to recover the ant DNA.

Pretty easy using a propane burner and ss container. Just takes 40-50 cans to make one pound. Then keeping it hot to pour. I going to try this one day when I have time and can find a mound not in rock hard clay.
