Those red fire ants, I hate them the most! They look good on that photo but they are not cool and cute at all. Their bite stings. Since it is summer now here, I can see them almost every day here on my kitchen...

Did you know that fire ants have a Designated Survivor? It would be funny if it weren't true. Like many US states, NC has a huge population of ferocious fire ants. Wind and rain from parts of Hurricane Ian seem to have...

My husband is spraying weeds and also killing fire ants - I keep looking at the calendar - we shouldn't have weeds or fire ants to kill! In a way I will not be too unhappy when the temperatures get back to normal at the end of...

I learned I'm allergic to Fire Ants shortly after moving to Florida. (I don't think they were in Indiana, where I used to live.) I have tried all kinds of ways to get rid of them, all to no avail. Well, this morning, I noticed a...
