I saw a post by someone else yesterday that pretty much says it all:

THEY LET HIM SHOOT

THEY KILLED HIM

SO HE COULDN’T TALK

Here in Oregon we used to see these fire ants at a coastal farm we leased. Since it is usually much warmer there than here in the valley where are farm is located now we have not seen any yet thankfully. Fire ants are nasty! They will all attack any invader to their nest. It has become so much warmer longer during the summers we now seem to have less problems with all kinds of ants & hornets too. Good tips on how to see if you have any with the potato chip & hot dogs! Apparently not just people like junk food!

FireAnts are far smaller than I thought they'd be. I thought they were big but they are tiny.
