Something crazy is spreading across Texas, and it may be so destructive that one day it will make Texans actually miss the hated fire ant.

Crazy idea. Exterminate them where you find them.

For years we fought “red ants.” When the fire ant appeared, we began to leave the reds alone so they could compete with the fire ants for food/resources as a natural solution while we fought the fire ant.
I wonder if the crazy ant is a natural enemy to other ants as well since it appears to wipe out all other insects in it’s path.

I have my doubts that they are worse than fire ants.
I recall a couple of years ago, the University of Florida seemed to be on the verge of developing a system for destroying fire ants. Must not have worked.

Interesting...I live about four hours due east of Houston on I-10, and in the last few weeks have noticed an ant infestation in my yard that sounds a lot like these critters.
They're tiny little critters. One bit me on the wrist about two weeks ago while I was out working on my lawn...I still have a tiny scab, but for a few days afterwards, I had a rash and swelling about half way up the bottom of my forearm, and up over the back of my thumb. Another one bit me on the ankle and left a similar welt. They don't seem to have been bothering my dog, a long, thick haired Tervuren, too much, but my girlfriend's dog, a short haired boxer has left my yard with some pretty nasty bites.
I notice them most around the front gate of my privacy fence but haven't quite pinpointed the nest yet. I think it's time for a curing fire.

Strangely, the fireants showed up here in North Mississippi the same time the armadillos did.

A result of global warming, no doubt. And since it started in Texas, it MUST be Dubya’s fault.

A few years ago I had an infestation of very big, very busy ants and I got rid of them fairly easily. They were living in and around cracks in my drive way in the front of the house.
