[Leica] IMG: Large Ant Hill of Medium-Sized Black Ants

Boiling water works, also kerosene.  Also, guineas!!  My guineas eat all of
the ticks and most of the ants around here.  There are are few organic
remedies but what usually happens is that the fire ants leave one nest and
move to another one.  Be careful.  They are dangerous!
