              Box of grapenuts serial and Ortho fire ant killer (the powder)...Coat the grapenuts real good with the powder and sprinkle it around the mounds.

                A little gas will run them off...

                    Orthene powder !
                    It stinks bad but works great.
                    Had to evict a few at the farm.

                      I have a lot of them at my property. I had to get rid of the mound in my driveway. After a couple of years of being easy on them I got bit.
                      A little DE did them in. I have several other mounds around the house and I let them be.

                        Ortho Fire Ant Killer if you don't mind poison. That stuff is pretty affordable.

                        Orange oil for an "all natural" approach. I think I have used Medina brand. Mix with water per the "soil drench" instructions and soak the mound really well. If it's a big mound you may have to come back within the next couple of days and soak again, but it works well for a "safe" method. The only problem with this is that orange oil can be pricey.

                          Yes sir. Mix as directed and drench to hole.

                            Red Harvester ants are super cool ants but when they are in your yard it is very intimating. I've only killed one mound because it was in a bad spot. I thought I used Amdro poured into the entrance.

                            For the most part, we leave them alone and will deliberately drive around their mounds in the pasture. Those ants collect seed to grow a fungus to feed the colony. In a drought, they collect a lot of seed but just before the drought ends they will go out and plant that seed in the spring time. Very cool to see, especially if you've been through a bad drought.

                              I think to op is talking about red harvester ant and you are talking about "leaf cutters"
