Podcasts about fire ants

Well hello there, neighbors. Fred Talley here with Faith Pest Control. If you're reading this, chances are you just walked into your kitchen to make a cup of coffee and found a black ribbon of ants marching across your granite countertops like they own the place. Believe me, I know that “sinking feeling” in your gut when you realize your home has been breached. Up here in Jasper—from the Foothills to Big Canoe—we deal with everything from tiny little Odorous House Ants (those are the ones that smell like rotten coconuts when you squish ’em) to the big, wood-destroying Carpenter Ants. Before you go grabbing that can of yellow spray from the hardware store, let's talk about how to handle this the right way. 1. Identify the Target Not all ants are created equal. If you see big, beefy black ants hanging out near windowsills or damp wood, you might have a Carpenter Ant issue, which can actually hurt the structure of your home. If they're teeny-tiny and heading straight for the sugar bowl, they're likely just looking for a snack. Knowing who you're fighting helps us know how to win. 2. Resist the Urge to Spray This is the hardest piece of advice to follow. When you see ants, you want them dead now. But if you use a “repellent” spray (the kind that kills on contact), you might actually make the problem worse. Many ants, especially Fire Ants or Argentine Ants, react to sprays by “budding.” They sense the danger, panic, and the colony splits into three or four new colonies to survive. You might kill fifty ants today, but you’ve just guaranteed five hundred more next week. 3. The “Clean and Clear” Method While you wait for professional help, do these three things: Wipe the trails: Ants leave behind invisible “scent trails” (pheromones) so their buddies can follow them. Use soapy water or a vinegar solution to wipe down the area and break the trail. Dry it up: Ants aren’t just hungry; they're thirsty. Fix that leaky faucet and wipe the condensation off the bottom of the fridge. Seal the snacks: Put the cereal in Tupperware and make sure the pet food isn’t sitting out overnight. 4. Look Outside the Box (Literally) Most ant problems in Georgia start outside. Take a walk around your foundation. Are there tree limbs touching your roof? That's an ant highway. Is the pine straw piled up six inches deep against your siding? That's an ant hotel. Keeping your mulch a few inches away from the foundation can do wonders for keeping the critters out. Why “Faith” Matters in Pest Control At the end of the day, you want someone you can trust in your home. That's why we do what we do. We don’t just “spray and pray”—we look for the nest, we use professional baits that the ants take back to the queen, and we make sure the job is done right the first time. If you're tired of sharing your kitchen with six-legged roommates, give us a holler. We'll get you back to living in a pest-free home, just the way it ought to be.The post A Jasper Homeowner's Guide to the Ant Invasion first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Sarah was having the time of her life in the creepiest national park that may or may not have alien life. We learn about a horse who died under mysterious circumstances and how a cult got started nearby. And we hear about her experience at a hot spring in her area that freaked her out and made her foot feel like it was on fire. We learn about a flesh eating maggot that is threatening America's lifestock, and it's making us wonder if Paul McCartney was right all along about eating meat. We learn why tennis is the best sport to play for overall health and longevity. And we debate the use of GLP-1s by Serena Williams, and the reason Susie is confused about why her coach wanted her to lose weight in the first place.Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

In this episode of the Riff Session, we engage in a light-hearted conversation that spans various topics, including our upcoming trip to Madagascar, cultural exchanges during mission trips, and humorous discussions about classic monsters like vampires and werewolves. We also touch on survival strategies in a zombie apocalypse and share our experiences with extreme weather and ice fishing. In this engaging conversation, we explore various themes ranging from seasonal activities and childhood memories to the humorous aspects of pain and the science of humor measurement. We share personal anecdotes about winter activities, school seasons, and encounters with fire ants, leading to a discussion on the Schmidt Pain Index and the nature of humor in everyday life. The conversation culminates in a humorous critique of advertising, particularly focusing on Palmolive commercials and the absurdity of using dishwashing liquid for hand care.

Pull up a chair and pour some sweet tea — this week on the Backwoods Life Podcast, we're talkin' turkey. Baby turkeys, to be exact — or as we call 'em, poults. We'll cover how they're faring this season, and what kind of habitat they need. Then we shift gears to our favorite big woods ghosts: deer. From velvet bucks startin' to show to summer feeding patterns, we're diving deep into what's goin' on in the whitetail woods right now. But it ain't all sunshine and game trails. Fire ants are outta control this year, and we're breaking down just how bad they are for wildlife, land, and even your backyard. And in the worst kind of wildlife news — Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been confirmed again in Georgia. We'll talk about what this means for hunters, what the state's doing about it, and how you can help slow the spread. It's wild, it's real, and it's life in the backwoods. Let's get to it.

Master Gardener Emily Clem talks with Urban Regional Extension Agent, Marcus Garner, about garden pest management. He talks about specific pests (aphids, hornworms, fire ants, Japanese beetles, deer) and how to control them using organic methods. From soap and water, oils, hand picking methods, even using strong smelling plants, there are natural ways to control pests. If insecticides are used, Marcus stresses the importance of Personal Protective Equipment and following directions on the label. Regarding weeds, it's all about early detection. He strongly recommends spending time in your garden daily to inspect plants for pests and other damage before they become a big problem.Links:https://www.aces.edu/  (Alabama Cooperative Extension)https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/https://www.alcpl.org/Have questions about this episode?

News with Sean 4-25-2025 ...Think Fire Ants are Bad? What till you hear about Hell Ants

Daniel and Wilbur are back in the SHACK and are sick of hearing about Big Government tyrannical takeover, dousing us with chemicals and toxins but for your own HEALTH AND SAFETY! There is an invasive fire ant species found in Australia and their governments solution is to kill every living thing known to man in order to deal with it. Do you think there is a better solution? Well too bad, you don't know any better, you're not an expert, are you? Government knows all and if you don't comply, we will fine you, put you in jail, or in a nice camp where you can spend the rest of your life with your fellow insubordinate neighbors. All over fire ants..............Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

G'day Folks, On this episode we re-visit the fiasco that is the Fire Ant Eradication Program by the Queensland Government. More has happened since our last show in June 2024. Government Overreach & Property Rights The episode revisits the ongoing “fire ant fiasco,” with guests highlighting how the government has been conducting chemical spraying across Queensland with minimal consultation. Dr. Conny Turni shares her experience of having her property sprayed without proper consent, where officials assumed silence as consent. The discussion underscores a dangerous precedent where residents' rights are being undermined in the name of pest control. Environmental & Health Risks Both guests raise alarm over the environmental devastation caused by the chemicals used in the program. They describe the impact on native ant species, soil health, frogs, and waterways, citing studies that link these chemicals to endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Despite this, no thorough environmental risk assessments have been conducted—especially shocking given the massive 830,000-hectare spray zone. Flawed Execution & Wasteful Spending The government's eradication strategy is criticized as inconsistent and ineffective. Sarah McGuire outlines how $1.5 billion has been spent over 23 years, yet fire ants are 20 times more widespread. The approach is described as poorly managed, with inexperienced workers treating properties haphazardly and inconsistently—suggesting it functions more as an employment scheme than a serious biosecurity program. Legal Challenges & Civil Disobedience The podcast spotlights the arrest of a woman in Samford Valley who refused to allow chemical treatment on her land. The arrest—despite no confirmed fire ants on the property—sparked outrage and legal action. The hosts argue this represents an attack on civil liberties and are encouraging legal resistance through formal objections, signage, and community solidarity. Viable Alternatives & Grassroots Advocacy Importantly, the episode doesn't just criticize—it offers solutions. The guests promote non-toxic methods, such as a hot water fire ant extermination machine developed in the U.S. and now being trialed in Australia. They also encourage Indigenous involvement, legal resistance, and public support to pressure the government for change. The message is clear: there are safer, smarter ways to deal with fire ants—if only the authorities would listen.

Fire ants have been in eastern Virginia for many years. As Roxy Todd reports, a new type of fire ant has now been confirmed in parts of Southwest Virginia.

In this month's episode, Laura covers new research on housefly control, Mike talks about new research tracking changes in insecticide resistance in mosquitoes, and Ellie covers a publication focused on tracking the red imported fire ant. We're joined by special guest, Megan Moloney with NPMA! If you have questions or feedback for the BugBytes team, email us at training@pestworld.org, we'd love to hear from you! And, be sure to check out NPMA's Pestology blog (npmapestology.com/)for more information on the research covered in this episode!

In episode 86 of the Road to Wisdom podcast, Keshia and Chloe sit down with Simon Mulvany from Save the Bees to explore the contentious fire ant eradication program in Queensland. This conversation dives into the ecological, social, and political complexities surrounding the program, shedding light on the propaganda used to instil fear about fire ants and the government's reliance on chemical solutions. Simon critiques the narrow approach to pest control, emphasizing the need for non-toxic alternatives like diatomaceous earth and the role native ants can play in managing fire ant populations naturally. The deeper implications of the eradication program are explored, including its impact on native bee populations and the broader organic farming industry. Simon highlights how the poisoning program has become an industry in itself, raising concerns about transparency and vested interests. He also discusses the legal rights of homeowners who resist forced chemical use, advocating for empowerment and informed decision-making within communities. Chloe, Keshia, and Simon delve into how media narratives and fear campaigns influence public perception of invasive species and pest control. They explore the environmental consequences of heavy chemical use, the introduction of controversial technologies like GMO mosquitoes, and the often-overlooked importance of native bees in maintaining biodiversity. Emphasizing the power of grassroots action and community-led solutions to environmental challenges, Simon underscores the value of organic, local approaches and the importance of public awareness in holding governments and organizations accountable. By prioritizing transparency, biodiversity, and sustainable methods, individuals can push back against harmful policies and advocate for healthier ecosystems. This episode serves as a call to action, reminding listeners of the vital role they play in protecting public health, biodiversity, and the integrity of the natural world.
