I live in Michigan where there are no known infestations of fire ants. These painful stinging insects inhabit many of the United States including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. They have also recently been found in Missour, New Mexico and Nevada.
I never knew about these ants before. But I am glad to know about them now. Seeing as how the insects can be relentless there is a chance that they will make their way into the Great Lakes State eventually. So it is good to be informed.
Especially if you live in one of the states mentioned. Or even if you are planning on vacationing in one of those areas. These ants bite in order to grab a hold of its victim before stinging with its tail end over and over again. Doen't sound all that pleasant now does it? I think if I ever go to one of the states mentioned I'll bring some fire ant insecticide.
Have you ever had any dealings with these mean little buggers?
