Fire Ants in Potted Fruit Trees

[meighkee]

Need some help. I've got a few nectarine and peach trees in pots in the back yard and I'm continually fighting fire ants in the pots. Not sure what they will eventually do to the trees, and I would like to eat some of the fruit when ripe, but not sure what I can do to get rid of them.

Sure could use your help. Thank you.

Thanks very much. Haven't heard of Spinosad before. Would you recommend something like Captain Jack's Deadbug concentrate, with Spinosad? I see there are a few products on the market with Spinosad in them.

All of the different brand names are basically the same product. CJ's Deadbug is great. I use it myself
