How do you get rid of velvet ants?

Flooding mounds, following treatment schedules, squishing with boots, shoes or swatters and tilling soil describe ways to get rid of velvet ants. Treatment schedules against the Mutillidae family members in question include earth-friendly methods such as employing horticultural oils against eggs and insecticidal soaps against all other life cycle stages. Less eco-friendly methods, because of environmental mortality, health concerns and non-target mortality, involve dusting mounds and resorting to baits, borax mixed with flour, honey or sugar and granular, liquid or sprayed insecticides.
