Fruit tree questions

First question, I have a been nursing a Persimmon tree for about three years now and fire ants have built a mound around it. How can I get rid of the ants without harming the tree? Next question, every June Bettles eat the leaves on my Apple and Plum trees. How can I stop that from happening? Thanks!

I can’t answer the fire ant question. But for the beetles we put out a beetle bag we bought off amazon to save our peach tree and it has worked. Comes with a stake so we have it about 6 feet free the tree. It works great.

Haven't seen orthene. I use this, and it's what my pest control guy uses (10' from the house, which is why I bought my own). This works very well
