Handy Devices

Anyone who has ever battled fire ants understands what Bill Boyce, Texarkana, Arkansas, has built. He calls it his weapon of war against the stinging ants. This is a mound pusher, he explains, built especially to disrupt ant communities and set up below and around wire fences. Boyce built this with a 5-inch I beam and mounted it on a quick-attach plate that can be attached to a tractor or skid-steer loader.
