ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for destroying fire ants includes a rotatable ant bed destruction member and apparatus for rotating such destruction member into an ant bed; a fluid delivery assembly is provided for delivering water, ambient or at extremely hot temperatures; or other fluid, to the rotatable destruction member to drown and otherwise kill the ants while the rotatable destruction member destroys the ant bed. The method of this invention is practiced by simultaneously moving the ant bed destruction member into the bed and delivering a stream of fluid into the ant bed sufficient to co-act with the destruction member to destroy the ant bed.
