These little bastards are no joke.
I kill ‘em on sight.
What is your preferred method?
They bite and sting you at the same time so you always have two little welts. And they do so with no provocation. As soon as they are on your skin, they attack.
In Florida I always found them to be more of a painful nuisance than anything but I never had to deal with a whole nest of them. It was always one or two at a time that found their way to my body.
When I was a kid I jumped a ditch and my hand landed in a fire ant mound. Wow!
I used to scrape the top off them and toss in other creatures to see if they’d make it out. Until I stuck in my own hand…
Remember them (or similar) out in California. Mosquito bites were nothing compared with a jab from them b stards. It would itch for weeks.
