Switching to energy-efficient light bulbs will also significantly reduce your electricity costs. Incandescent bulbs will last for an average of 1,000 hours compared to LEDs at 25,000 hours. Some fluorescent (CFL) bulbs contain mercury. When you are buying fluorescent bulbs, look for ones with a label that says low-mercury. Another great way to save energy is to minimize the amount of air leaking out of your home. Make sure that your walls are insulated. You could also consider double and triple pane/glazed windows reduce heat lostthis can be rather costly, but it will save you money in the long run when you do end up heating or cooling your home. You should also add some caulking or weather stripping around old windows and doors. This will help you to eliminate drafts, thus making your heating and cooling systems more energy efficient. This means both buying electronics with a good energy rating, and making sure that you unplug your electronics when you are not using them. Look for an Energy Star label on any appliance you consider buying. Energy Star is a certification given to appliance companies by the United States government. It signifies that the appliance is highly energy efficient. Regardless of how energy efficient your appliance might be, however, it is always good to unplug your appliances when you are not using them. If you have a hard time remembering to unplug your electronics, consider buying a power strip. You can plug your electronics into it, and shut them all off just by hitting the 'off' button on the power strip. Solar, hydro, and wind power are all excellent forms of alternative energy. Some utilities companies will give you the option of choosing green energy through the use of solar or wind power. If your utilities company doesn't offer a green option, don't give up! You can set up your own solar panels, and even build your own turbines. Instead of running the dryer every time you do a load of laundry, hang your clothes to dry in the sun instead. Set up your own clothesline. You can also air dry clothes on a rack indoors.

Replace your standard (incandescent) light bulbs with more efficient alternatives. Weatherproof your home. Be mindful of your electronics. Consider alternative forms of energy. Dry your clothes outside.
Article: Wait until the evening or night during the summer months, as this is when the fire ants will normally be foraging. Place a small amount of bait next to each mound that you can find. You can buy fire ant bait from gardening stores. The fire ants will take the bait within 30 minutes. Fire ant bait is designed to act slowly, so that the queen will also be targeted. The instructions that come with the fire ant bait will specify the amount to use and the best placement. Sprinkle the mound treatment in a full circle around the fire ant mounds. Make sure to follow all of the safety instructions listed on the package. Mound treatments contain acephate, which is a slow-acting poison that will eventually kill the fire ants. The fire ants will eat the poison and share it with the queen, which works to slowly wipe out the whole colony. Mound treatments won't work once they get wet, so try to pick a sunny day. Mound treatments will only work on the mound that it encircles. You will have to repeat the treatment around each individual mound. You can get fire ant mound treatments from gardening centers. Use a push spreader to apply granules of fire-ant killer over your whole lawn. Cover all areas that are possible. This solution is best if you have to deal with multiple mounds that are spread across a larger area.

Some lawn treatments are safe for native ant species. Contact a local exterminator company that can work specifically with fire ants. Professionals have access to treatments that aren't available to the general public, and these may be more effective against stubborn fire ant infestations.
