It's ok. :-) Unless you have actually worked with one, it's difficult to imagine the horror. At this point, we don't know all the potentials for the rasberry ant altering the native habitat. So, I reserve my own judgment on that end. -- Dave On that we can both agree... I just hate fire ants so! -- Peace!

A few locals I discussed this noticed same. They simply build underground and disperse the unearthed soil about to hide their location. Stealthy versions, apparently. Now, that scares me. No, not kidding. Wonder how long it will take entomologists and exterminators to express that to the public in general? -- Dave Memorial day: In honor for those who served and died for your freedom of speech, exercise that right where you fear repercussion the most for your voiced opinion. |

And here I thought I hadn't found any mounds because it has been too dry this summer for the nasty little f*cks to make a living...Fleas, fleas I got in spades, but nary a fireant heap have I seen since...April andmaybe earlier. |

If you have fleas, you probably have no fire ants. Eating fleas is about the only thing they are useful for. Beneficial nematodes DO work for fleas, but not if the soil gets too dry. They are best dispersed in early spring. -- Peace! Om "Human nature seems to be to control other people until they put their foot down." -- Stephan Rothstein |
