How to Get Rid of Fire Ants Naturally soap or dish soap measuring cup garden sprayer Combine all of the ingredients in your sprayer jug. Close the sprayer and shake to combine. To use, thoroughly spray the ant mound, concentrating in the center to attempt to “get” the queen of the ant colony. Completely soak the entire mound and about 6-12 inches around the mound as well, for good measure. I occasionally shake the jug as I go around the garden spraying, to make certain all of the ingredients stay mixed. By Constance Smith

To Make Natural Fire Ant Killer You Will Need: 1 gallon non-chlorinated water (well water or rain water)
How This Works: This mixture uses three important ingredients. Garrett Juice Plus, orange oil and non-chlorinated water. Garrett Juice Plus is a wonderful combination of compost tea, apple cider vinegar, molasses, seaweed and hydrolyzed fish. This nourishes and helps repair the soil from the damage that the ant colony does. The orange oil dissolves the exoskeleton of the ant, and the ant is no more. The non-chlorinated water (well water or collected rain water) is very important, because part of the purpose of the Garrett Juice is to restore the ecosystem of the soil, to include the important bacteria and micro-nutrients that make the soil healthy. Chlorinated tap water will be counter-productive to this.
