wow- thanks for sharing. Hubby and I wondered where a person may encounter these types of ants?
We found them in the southern states from around central Texas east, not much in dry desert areas to the west. They never seemed to come in the trailer but as Anne found out once stepping in a nest is not fun.
The ones I hated were Sugar Ants, as they would evade the whole trailer and setup shop! They didn’t bite but were all in the food.
Good move Terry & Carol!!
I was bitten by one fire ant and cannot imagine what a whole nest would feel like!!!
Up north they can’t live due to the frigid winters!! Thank goodness!!
Ray,
We’re with you on the sugar ants!! Those little buggers get into the smallest of openings and mess up all sorts of foods. Nancy found that Tupperware foils them though! We had a bunch this past summer and nailed them with a recipe involving boric acid and sugar water that we found on pinterest. Worked well. No more ants!!
I have used the boric acid and sugar water around the stick built house and it does seem to work well. ants are just a big pain. I have seen the firey red furry ants, don’t know if that is a “fire ant” or not but they sure looked menacing. Here in KS we just see the furry red ones sporadically.
