Crazy Raspberry Ants



I live in South Houston and we are getting them.


Just read about them today. They are hoping the little *******s will
stay close to the coast. From what I read they eat fireants and kick
their butts completely.

Good luck.

If they eat fireants, they are WELCOME here!
Somebody ship me a colony, quick. ;-)

We can't grow raspberries here anyway. The climate is wrong.

Careful what you wish for....they're named rasberry because of the guy
who discovered them. Apparently they are a mucho prolific species and
can multiply beyond the ability to control them even with pretty deadly
pesticides. The Rasberry guy is a pest control operator and he thinks
they are bad news for his business since their resistance to control
leave his customers unsatisfied. He goes on to say he probably loses
money on every job in order to attempt to satisfy his clients.

Chase down some info on the web if you want to know more. Heck, they
even take down computers according to an article in Information Week!
