ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for eliminating fire ants in mounds utilizes a high capacity fan to set up a confined airflow adjacent a fire ant mound such that a substantial portion of the mound and its contents are entrained by the airflow. The mound and ants therein are carried by the airflow within the apparatus wherein they are pulverized either by the action of the fan or by a separate mechanical pulverizer into which the mound and ants are deposited from the airflow. The apparatus is designed as an accessory to a tractor or the like and may be powered from the power take-off unit of a tractor.
