Has anyone ever seen the videos and pictures where they pour molten aluminum down in an ant bed? The sculptures they it forms when it cools off, hardens and they dig it up is amazing. The other amazing thing is how far a typical ant bed extends underground and how many underground chambers it has.
This is pretty cool... The ants probably never knew what hit 'em.

I’ve been using extinguish plus for a few years. It works really well. Now it doesn’t kill them real fast. It is a bait. You put it out in the warm parts of the year when ants are out foraging. You don’t need to put it out when the grass is wet or if it’s going to rain in within next day. It’s small flakes And can be broadcasted with your fertilizer if you want to mix it. I just walk in zig zag lines about 15 feet apart shaking the jug it comes in. Then every mound I see I shake extra around it. It’s like a 1 pound per acre rate. Within a few weeks you will start to see the mounds disappear. Later in the summer you may start to see them pop up hear and there just spot treat them. Next spring treat you whole yard again. Most of your local cops carry this product or a look alike

I've been saying I am going to do it one day soon.
I’ve watched those videos before as well. Quite amazing and want to do it but never find the time. One could probably sell those as some form of art as well.
