Human introduced fire ants?

The media story here in Texas has been that they arrived in Mobil Alabama by freighter from South America some time in the 50s and have been spreading out from there.

I am in Texas and I never heard that story.

Have you read that there is anything in the works that may stop these ants??

They are destroying so much of our wildlife.

Have they spread all over Texas by now or what? It seems the last I read, they hadn't reached central Texas yet.

I guess you all heard about the young boy that was killed by fire ants during football practice here fairly recently:

There must be something they can do to eradicate these things!
