Imported Fire Ants October 01, 2015. Fire ants live in an extensive network of tunnels in the soil. How deep this network extends into the ground depends on age and size of the colony, soil texture, and depth of the water table. Tunnels in fire ant nests have been found to a depth of 10 feet or more, but most tunnels are shallower, starting just beneath the soil surface. Colonies in clay soils have deeper tunnels than those in sandy soils.
To prevent carpenter ant colonies from establishing in cedar mulch, keep the mulch no more than 2 or 3 inches deep and stir it frequently throughout the season. Avoid using cedar mulch directly adjacent to structures, leaving a gap of at least 6 inches. Keep mulch at least 3 inches away from trees.
