Thread: I so want to do this!

How did they cover the nest, drill the hole, and pour the aluminum without any ants?

I know the molten aluminum would kill them, but it took some prep work before they poured it.

Ok, I been thinking about this cause it looks awesome! If you placed one of those bug bombs next to the mound and covered the mound and bug bomb with a bucket or something would that kill the ants? Then you would be free to work without fighting the little boogers. Either that or do it at night cause everyone knows they don't bite after dark, wink, wink!

I agree with the night time thing. I think you could put the powdered poison on them a few days in advance to kill them, then do the prep work. I use the Surrender or whatever it's called. Rees suggested it to me for the place at Sardis, and it works fast!!!! I think the smell kills em. :-)

when ya gonna try it Bill ? wonder how hot aluminum has to be to melt ?

That's a good question "G". Don't know the melting temp of aluminum. Looks like it takes quite a bit too. I might have to melt down a Jon boat. Lol

There are some purdy big nests on the Corp ground behind me at Sardis. Those things might need a wheel barrow full of aluminum. They might come out the size of a Christmas Tree. Hehehe
