[net.garden] FIRE ANTS!

dennisw (03/24/83)

	Having tried Black Flag Ant Traps and Professional Strength
sprays and gas to no avail (hardly), my wife came out with a mix of
Clorox and Fantastik.
	The buggers are all dead, now.

     AH! but is your wife still alive?

	  Seriously folks, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if you
     mix an ammonia product (fantastick) and a chlorine product (clorox),
     you might produce chlorine gas. That sure will kill fire ants, but
     it has been known to kill humans also.

     P.S. Maybe this should be in net.suicide!

be careful, and dont mix them inside...  mixing chlorine bleach
with anything containing ammonia causes a rather deadlt gas to
be released...  every once in a while you here about someone getting
killed trying to clean their bathroom with such a mixture.
