Burning has nothing to do with killing ants.....that I know of. If burning helped.....my yard would have a bunch of "black" spots to kill the ants.

Burning helps to promote new growth and keeps the land/ground more "open" so the Quail can feed easier on bugs and seeds.

I have heard that when the "Forest companies" stopped burning the woods [~ 20+ years ago], this was the start of decline of the Quail population in Louisiana.
