We have fire ants. We have hundreds of colonies in our yard. If I find something that works on them I'll have to talk the whole neighborhood into the fix because they are everywhere.

Same thing for mosquitoes. We have our own yard free from standing water but the neighbors don't. In South Carolina you don't make these kinds of suggestions to your neighbor. They are really big on retaining their perceived rights.

Sorry to hear it Charlie, maybe you could enlist the help of some Texas blind snakes to help with the fire ants. There must be something that could help!

I recently was looking at info on mosquito control and came across this which seemed interesting:

This guy built a mosquito trap with a strong fan and some screening held in place with magnets. I would try something like this if I had a serious mosquito problem like he does in Florida.
