We have those all over Pearland (1st city South of Houston). They cover the yard, and have no visible beds. You might not see them until you put your hand on the grass and suddenly have 50 of them on your wrist in 10 seconds. We pest-treated the house, and we sweep up 2 or 3 dustpans full of ant bodies in the house every day, and it doesn't seem to slow down their spread one bit. They're crazy pests, and terrible for the ecosystem, but in my experience they never bite people. We've been dealing with them for years, and it's generally understood that they aren't biters, and since they killed off the fire ants, ant bites seem to be down. I'd rather deal with fire ants rather than the Raspberry ants. FYI, Raspberry was the name of the exterminator in League City who first identified them as a unique species, and mailed samples to a lab at Texas A&M, who confirmed that they were preiously unidentified.

Would becoming an anteater breeder be a good business to go into? I wonder what kind of pets anteaters make....
