I've got these red ant/fire ant mounds all over my lawn. I've used bags of chemical pesticide granules and although they promise to kill the queen, the mounds always reappear a yard or two away. I've researched a bit online and will try some of the suggested remedies which include using cornmeal or grits. It's a lot cheaper and a lot more environmentally friendly. I'll follow up and post how it works for me.

If you know of a green method that works, please post that as well. If you're looking for your own greener solution, maybe someone here has your answer.
Maybe your experience will help someone else find a better, greener way.

Let's share any natural alternatives that we come across or that have worked for us to replace less environmentally friendly products.
