Guest guest Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Edith, Living in New York, I don't encounter fire ants, but I did once. My husband, my 3 year old daughter and I were returning from Florida by car. We were passing through Alabama when we parked by the side of the road to accommodate my husband. My daughter accidentally stepped into a fire ant hill. I will never forget how fast and how aggressively they swarmed up her leg while I was beating them off with my hands. I got her to safety in less than a minute, but we both wound up with a few infected bites. I cannot imagine how dangerous it would be to have swarms of those monster insects living near my house! Here's hoping that you are totally successful in ridding your property of those creatures! Hugs, Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
