Not A Superstition.  Exception being: use "instant" _grits_, and 
even run 'em through a blender on HIGH for a minute or so to 
make 'em finer.  Proven to kill the mound -- although it can take 
up to a week to do so.

Martin Flamebeard and I have both used this method in yard 
maintenance here in Steppes to good effect. (Alright, so we were 
both working on the same yard at the time...)

Can anyone explain why I've never seen  -- at least I do not
remember
seeing --  a serious fire ant problem where there is full-canopy
tree 
coverage?
