How can you get rid of Brazilian Fire Ants ?

Question

I have lots of ant hills in the pasture. At least 7 or eight. Does anyone know how to kill them? I also have horses on the property. I would like something natural if possible.

Answer 1

Get some Garlic powder from the dollar store and sprinkle it all over the hills and stir up the top a little bit and sprinkle some more, give it a few they will die, Garlic is toxic to ants and chocolate is toxic to dogs and ibuprofen is toxic to cats I use it around my house, You could pour a gallon of gas over the hill, but please don't light it, I told a person to do this once and he burned his house down, Gas will soak in really well and kill anything living.

Answer 2

Try pouring boiling water into their holes, and plugging them with moth balls.
