I've had success with good ol' DIESEL FUEL.

Works on those pesky ground bees, as well.

Wear long pants . Be ready to pour a lot of aluminium. I have had my family saving cans for me and the wife and I have been saving cans for a few months. Surprising how little material goes into making a drink can. Some of these mounds are pretty damned deep from what I have read and seen.

I got most of my info on Youtube.

That is really cool, just so I understand, you melted aluminum cans and poured them into the mound?
