Hi Bruce

Yes, we certainly do have fire ants, but these invaders appear to be red ants 
of some sort, not the fire ants.  Thanks for the reference to the site 
www.gardens-alive.com.  What a great site...I found a possible solution 
there, which I just happen to have on hand---diatomaceous earth (DE).  I will 
use it carefully on the mound and see how it works.  This could be just what 
I need!!  Probably wouldn't be too practical for grasshoppers??

Thanks!
Juliana
