Seems a small army of fire ants have moved into the corner of my back yard(found out the hard way, little bastards). Anyone know of a way to kill them off without endangering the dogs or my 15 month old?

There's a million things on google but I'd rather not go broke at the store buying shit that probably won't work or will work and kill the kid and critters.

Gasoline + fire + keep dogs and kid inside a day or two.

I actually thought about thAt one but they're right next to the neighbors privacy fence and one of those big green metal boxes the electric company owns. Not sure that'd work out so well.

Ortho makes a pretty decent powder that I've had success with.
