Flesh-Eating Fire Ants

There’s no “I” in team, especially in the ant world. Cooperation helps fire ants reproduce, take down prey, and even strip bones clean.

Is there any evidence of fire ants having infested Thailand?

The fire ant, a nasty agressive insect causing serious painful bites, migrated from South America to the US before the Second World war. Later on it infested Australia. In the last few years the fire ant has also been found in China, Taiwan and the Phillipines.

A friend of mine in Thailand shows a serious allergy to ant bites, which strongly resembles a fire ant allergy. Is there any evidence that fire ants occur in Thailand (specifically the Southern peninsula) ?

Thanks in advance for your input

Why do a few of my fire ants huddle?

I caught some fire ants a while ago and now a large number of them are always huddled up in a corner of the farm and do nothing, but there awake.

Natural way to get rid of fire ants?

Hi! I live in Florida and of course everyone knows there are the pesky fire ants here. I have a few large mounds in my small yard and they are starting to come in the house. I already sprinkled baby powder around the house, but what can I use outside? I heard about boiling water but I’m scared to stand next to the mounds and pour the water as they will scatter and bite right?

What is a good way to kill and repel fire ants around a chicken coop that will not harm the chickens?

I have tried orange oil and it will kill them that you spray it ON but has no residual killing power or repellent.

I have tried DE and it doesn’t seem to do much.

What could I use to get rid of them that’s preferably organic?
Yes I could get a spray especially for fire ants that wouldnt harm chickens if I knew of one.

I moved recently to Fort Rucker which is in Lower Alabama (LA), and I saw some red ant piles, and I was wondering if there are fire ants in these parts?

what does it mean to dream of fire ants?

I had a dream that I was in a tide pool with sand at the bottom and there were fire ants crawling on the sand both in and out of the water. It was actually painful and the only way to get to the other side of the water was to swim across without stepping on the bottom if you didn’t want to be stung. Can anyone tell me what this dream means?
Thanks in advance!
