Ants on Fire

anthill So I decided to try to clean up my yard a bit last week while I was off for 3 days when this ant pile was unnerving me. I had smashed it down quite a few times, ran over it with the lawnmower and finally decided to light the sucker on fire only to have them build a small ant hill right next to the one that was on fire. They didn’t travel much but apparently I didn’t get all of them.

Beyond that I still have a mole issue and I think they have made baby moles now because they are everywhere. I have tunnels in the front yard and holes in the backyard where the dogs have been digging trying to find them is all I can think of. Banged up my legs mowing over the shells from the black walnuts the squirrels have been so kind to leave me.

    I hope you don’t end up falling into a mole hole!

    Wow, you’re being taken over! Aren’t those ant mounds a pain?! Thank goodness I don’t have moles. Good luck!
