3 parts borax to 1 part cinnamon will take care of this dastardly problem.

Well, I guess ants are better than the EGGS people through at his limosine on his way to the white house the day he was sworn in!

Voracious ants that apparently arrived aboard a cargo ship are shorting out electronics across Houston,

Y'all ain't seen nothing yet.

Wait until Bush's North American Union (NAU) gets into full swing and thousands of uninspected Mexican trucks filled with uninspected Chinese ship cargo start entering the USA at the Texas border and driving all across the U.S. all the way up to Canada as they start their trip on the Texas Transnational Superhighway (aka NAFTA Superhighway).

These "crazy raspberry ants" will soon be in Missouri and Kansas City and all over the USA (along with a lot of other unsavory pests and critters and diseases) 'cause Bush and the globalists' NAU will let everything into this country and will inspect nothing.

I warned you!

You're a good ol' Texas boy so on another subject --

I'm cooking up a batch of chili tonight. I asked the produce guy at my local grocery a couple days ago to recommend a good sweet onion for the chili and he showed me some "Texas Sweet Onions" which I had not seen before (at least at my regular grocery store) so I bought about 4 of them to cut up and add to my chili. Anyone know anything about them? I like sweet onions but wondered why I'd never heard of this Texas Sweet Onion brand before now.

Hey, don't knock Larry's "ant solution."

I'm forever greatful to him for helping me with ants about three years ago. They were coming in due to the extreme heat and I couldn't seem to get rid of them. Larry said to lay down powdered Borax all along the ant trails and by the door and it worked great!

Thanks again, Larry!

Was the onion a 1015?

They've been around a long time.

I've never been to Texas but on behalf of all Texans whose state always seems
to be picked on all the time and/or badmouthed in the headlines --

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!

CC-
That's easier said than done, but I don't think we'll be electing another president from there any time soon, at least.

I have no idea what a "1015" means.

ZAT

Wait. I just looked at the little tag on the onion.

It says:

"Sweet Texas 1015"
"Dulce #4161 - Produce of Texas"

"I have no idea what a "1015" means."

You poor thing.

It's a specific type of onion.
They are very tasty.
Very.

CChris,


When it comes to homemade chili, don't fret about the type of onion.


The best thing you can do is make your own chili powder. Talk about a huge boost of flavor over pre-ground!!!


If you're interested I can walk you through it. It's not difficult, but it certainly does add some work to the overall process.

Chris,


Depending on your timetable, feel free to email me regarding some chili tips - I have been tweaking my chili for over 10 years now.

For now, I've gotta run.

I've got to get my son to bed and I've got a hockey game to watch.


Later!

"ZAT

You're a good ol' Texas boy"

I was born in Frankfurt, Germany and lived in Bad Nauheim for the first three and one half years of my life while my father was Army-Air-Force liason for the Berlin Airlift. My present (He's 87, KMFA, father in law was fixin' the birds in England at the time.)



My best memories of Texas are of being alone in vast stretches of land.

Thanks, Jeff!

Too late to go thru homemade chili powder for tonight's meal
but will definitely take you up on it for my next chili cookin' night!

Hope your hockey team wins :)

Right now I have tears in my eyes. I just sliced and diced the first 1015 and threw it in the chili pot. Going to do the same with the next 1015 onion (they're big ones!) right now and then start cooking the chili long and slow over a simmering heat. Yum!

Also threw in a can of beer I bought for the chili. I don't like beer myself to drink but it's really good to add to your chili. All the chili championship recipes have beer added to mix.

"I have tears in my eyes. "

PARTY ON!!

CChris,


You are off to a great start.


Only the best onions cause your eyes to well up.

Make sure and use a ton of fresh garlic. If you have a wide knife, hold it over the clove and smash down moderately hard with your fist. Doing so will seperate the paper from the clove and you can then feed the freed clove into the Cuisinart for quick mincing. Personally, I prefer to mince with a knife, but the cuisinart is much faster, particularly if you are using several cloves.

Oh great, so now we have another type of ants in addition to fire ants. Great, just perfect. I go out there and weed my gardens and I end up getting eaten to death by fire ants, now I have to worry about these? Well damn!

Awww, come on now. Any thread that has "Texas" in it always seems to get chili recipes popping up in there too.

CC,

"Right now I have tears in my eyes."

If the tears are of joy then ok, otherwise, I don't think you have a 1015...

I've counted them. I have 1015 tears of joy.

The ants fight like the best of armies.

Sounds like these ants swarm worse than a group of Hari Krishna at the airport.

texass deserves whatever pestilence the good lord can spare.

Bush bought the texas estate right before running for president as a way to make him seem more like a cowboy, but now we know that the man is terrified of horses and won't ride one.

Expect to see the 'Ranch' (estate) sold off shortly after he leaves the WH.

Bush won 31 states. Texas is no more guilty of "giving us the Bush Administration" than Georgia or Virginia or Ohio is.

Yeah, but Texas has way more entertaining stories than those other states.

Well, Florida, too.

Actually, the article mentions that the crazy ants eat fire ants, which are the real problem in Texas. Looks like they're more of a reward or respite than a punishment! (Although you'd probably need to read the article beforehand to know that, instead of just spouting off your uneducated vitriol)

Oh come now. Without uneducated vitriol no one would read this blog.

Sad but true...

By the way, which poster are you really? You've made too many *snarky* comments to be brand new

shhhhhh......it's a secret. I will only reveal my true identity after the shrew-beast of the Senate retreats.

I had a crazy ant once. She thought that my uncle was Jesus. Don't know what ever became of her....

I think everyone has at least one crazy ant. Mine was so ditzy you had to hold her hand to stop her from spinning in circles.

I had a crazy ant once. She thought that my uncle was Jesus. Don't know what ever became of her....

She probably died and was resurrected by her husband

Will they take care of all the crazy fucks?

funny(not) how many of you are happy to bash on "texans" and "rednecks", but you scream RACIST and BIGGOT the louder than anyone on other threads.

These ants aren't only "crazy" but smart as hell too. Read the last paragraph:

Exterminators say calls from frustrated homeowners and businesses are increasing because the ants -- which are starting to emerge by the billions with the onset of the warm, humid season -- appear to be resistant to over-the-counter ant killers.
...

It's not enough just to kill the queen. Experts say each colony has multiple queens that have to be taken out.

At the same time, the ants aren't taking the bait usually left out in traps, according to exterminators, who want the Environmental Protection Agency to loosen restrictions on the use of more powerful pesticides.

And when you do kill these ants, the survivors turn it to their advantage: They pile up the dead, sometimes using them as a bridge to cross safely over surfaces treated with pesticide.

Maybe I should by some stock in whatever good extermination company who eventually comes up with a cure. If this infestation keeps up and gets worse to where there is no way to control these ants, there will probably be a lot of houses for sale real cheap real soon in the Lone Star State.

Zat, JeffJ, and AndreaMackris --

My chili with the 1015 onions I made last night was delicious if I do say so myself. Guess what's for dinner again tonight (grin). Chili is always better after the ingredients have had a chance to really blend together for a day or so. Forgot sour cream on my shopping list so will have to get some for tonight's chili supper.

Wish I could FedEx you all some of this gooooood chili I made but you'll just have to eat your hearts out dreaming you had some. hahaha.

1015's are great for chili. I guess that's been made clear by now.
