The fire ant was also introduced to the United States through carbo ships.

Where’s Ozzy? He’ll snort them all up.

Crazy Raspberry Ants...doing the jobs that US ants won't do. or...

Bitter ants clinging to their guns and religion...

Holy mackerel. Don’t we have enough problems already?

Now I have to worry about getting crazy raspberry ants in my pants.

HOUSTON PING:

In what sounds like a really low-budget horror film, voracious swarming ants that apparently arrived in Texas aboard a cargo ship are invading homes and yards across the Houston area, shorting out electrical boxes and messing up computers.

The hairy, reddish-brown creatures are known as "crazy rasberry ants" — crazy, because they wander erratically instead of marching in regimented lines, and "rasberry" after Tom Rasberry, an exterminator who did battle against them early on.

Aparently he lost.

I’d be curious to know what the local varieties of horned toad, road runner, gecko, lizard, armadillo, hornets, and birds think of these big things.

I just moved to Dallas from up north. I don't know about these ants but I did capture and finally killed a giant roach. I tried to flush it down the toilet where surfed the swirl but not one to give up I loaded the bowl with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner and that finally got him......its a twofer....clean toilet and dead roach

I may have nightmares about the roach.....

A possible solution, from “The Simpsons”:

LISA: But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun by lizards?

SKINNER: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.

LISA: But aren’t the snakes even worse?

SKINNER: Yes, but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.

LISA: But then we’re stuck with gorillas!

SKINNER: No, that’s the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

Oh goody. First killer bees, then fire ants, and bedbugs, now crazy rasbery ants???

My area of the world got invaded by Asian stinkbugs last year. They are royal pains, they fly into you, get in the house, and they smell to high heaven if you kill them.

I guess I should be grateful, at least they don't short out electrical appliances.
