Last week, I was attacted by terrorist fire ants. I got about 5 painful burning bites on my legs and one finger. I never knew what a nasty venom those little beasts have and how dangerous they can be. One bite on my leg has a 4-inch circle of inflamation around it. They are not going to be long in this world when I get through punishing them.
FireAnts
Who Are These Fiends?
Fire ants are known for their lively and aggressive behavior, swarming over anyone or anything that disturbs their nest, often attacking wild animals, baby animals, pets or people, in some instances, even killing them. Their painful stings affect about 40 percent of people in infested areas each year. 20 million people a year are stung by fireants!
When these pesky critters invade an area, they do it with a vengeance. There will be enormous numbers of them which can dramatically reduce populations of native ants, other insects, and even ground-nesting wildlife. Watch out. They invade homes, school yards, athletic fields, golf courses, and parks. They will damage crops and electrical equipment, costing humans huge amounts of money each year in repairs and eradication.
