Hi Renee,
Are you using 'food grade' DE or pool/aquarium grade DE?
Thanks... we have them here in south Florida also!

Hi Brooks. Here in south Texas, where fire ants are rampant, we found
that the best way was to sprinkle some DE around the mound, then stir the mound
up to get zillions of them to come buzzing out of the mound, then while they
are swarming around the mound dump a bunch more DE on.
Only the very largest mounds needed another 'dose' the next day, but
those were rare and always after the second dose they were gone. Whether all
dead or moved away, I don't know, but the mound would be done with and they
never built close to that area with a new mound.
Samala,
Renee

our research using amorphous diatomaceous earth revealed
that NOTHING WE EMPLOYED equaled the ability to incite fire ants to
move to another location
