And one that isn't affected by fire ant baits, 'cides, etc.

Multiple queens and numbers in the BILLIONS. A bit more than the old "brick & hammer" will fix.

Will pooring motor oil on them kill them? Do they have mounds like fire ants?

Oil might kill them, but oil is not good for the soil.

Have not seen mounds - just under boards and rocks, etc.

Hum not sure I've noticed them just yet. So I wonder how long it will take to spread to all of TX?
