I live on 100 acres, yard is 3 acres. What is the most economical way to eradicate fire ants (especiall in yard)? Have purchased one batch of beneficial nematodes, but know it will be sadly inadequate. I understand that fire ants do not like fertile soil, so is it better to amend soil, or fight ants? Must address on limited budget. Also, I live in OK just across from Paris, TX. Any suggestions on good priced & KNOWLEDGEABLE providers? Have family in Arlington, so sources there would also be good.

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

I am getting very good results by using Anti Fuego (a commercial version of the homemade fire ant killer listed here http://www.dirtdoctor.com/view_question.php?id=204 ) to spot treat mounds, and applying molasses and other soil amendments to improve soil conditions. I am working on 4 acres of turf.

Talk to the people who supplied your nematodes and ask if they'll give you a special price to cover 3 acres worth. Or ask them if they'll give you the name/number of their supplier.
