Good News/Bad News

Let’s start with the bad news, shall we?
There are fire ants everywhere in the garden area. Everywhere.
I am out of fire ant poison, and I can’t really get any until Friday.
I have already been bitten by my personal allergic reaction level of five and had to take the strongest antihistamine I have.
Now for the good news…
Fire ants don’t like boiling water.
Thanks to the cool and wet weather, the bastards have their eggs and larva right up near the surface.
Sure, it’s probably not going to eradicate them, but I got in some revenge killing for those five stinging me. It made me feel better. If I get brave, I may go out there and pour some more hot water on the nasty little things. And I’ll laugh while I do so!
Why do I have to be super-allergic to everything on the planet?!

Boil those bastards! That sounds like fun! I love to torture them. One fun thing to do, is light a cigarette, and stick the butt end in the fire ant mound. They are stupid, so they attack the cigarette. They will run straight up it, and burn their legs off and fall down. LOL !!!! I get such joy from that! Then the next wave of those mindless little biting bastards run up and guess what? Yes Ma’am! Their legs burn off too! This is great entertainment while drinking beer with friends! It beats watching reruns! I used to work for a chemical company in Houston. Every once in a while I would take home a gallon of 97% sulfuric acid ,use a shovel to piss them off, and them melt them with acid. You have not truly lived until you have melted fire ants with acid!
I’m usually not the kind to enjoy killing anything brutally, but I’ve decided that I’m OK with doing anything to fire ants. If I had accidentally stepped on one of the mounds instead of just meeting up with a few on a plant, my sorry behind would have been in the emergency room. Too allergic to them to have them anywhere near me. So … it’s war, and all’s fair in war, right?
