From about 5 feet deep all the way to the bottom, the sides were honeycombed with voids the size of watermellons. All the ants were gone. I never realized that mounds went so deep and were so big. It explains why the ants are so hard to kill and why a front tractor tire can collapse one. If you could train the ants to dig storm cellers you could make a bundle!
