Hi Homebuff,
Yep, you can buy Terro, and is very good! As pennyless suggested. Much more expensive though!
What I do is buy a box of 20 mule team borax. You'd have to be as old as I am to know that brand LOL! You can find it in the laundry detergent aisle of Wal Mart, or any other store.
I have all sorts of pets. To keep them safe, I put a mixture of the borax and sugar in old margarine tubs. Poke holes around the bottom of the tub, large enough to let the bugs in, but keep the pets away from.
Like Harry said, a box of borax lasts forever!
They take this back to the nest and kill the rest of the colony.
I've posted the recipe many times on the board. Do a search, I'm sure you'll run across it! Search under fire ants in the decorating and landscaping forum. I know I posted it in the last 2 months!
