I try to rarely rant on the blog... but today is an exception! I keep learning new things about the south. This week I learned that I sholdn't mow over fire ant hills. Blasted ants!
Man, I destroyed their anthill yesterday and it's back today!
I have 6 nasty, raised, itchy bites that have swollen up bigger than quarters. Help! How do I make them go away?
Oh Mandy! I'm so sorry! You learn to look out for little "piles of dirt"! Probably old wives tale, but my family has used meat tenderizer - add a little water and apply as a paste. Its silly, but I can't think of any other medicine other than advil and an icepack to take the edge off! Good Luck!
Yup, you definitely need to invest in ant pesticide. They're bad news... Go pick up some bug-bite anti-itch stuff. I have no idea what it's called, but it always worked pretty good. I mean, it always STUNG a lot, so it must have been working right? OOOh, try the grit. Wouldn't it be fun to watch them explode? ;)

Thanks Molly! At this point- I'll try anything.
Apparently if you feed ants grit, they eat it and explode. Might be worth a shot to get rid of the ants.
