You DO NOT Want To Mess With These After Floodwaters

Crazy how they do that. When flash floods come and fill stock ponds it is not uncommon to see them rafting on the waters surface. If the cattle go in for a drink and bath the ants will climb all over them. They will go up into trees and attics until it dries out. If its chilly and cold when the big rains come they will go up into power transformers on poles or the big green boxes on the ground or breaker boxes on buildings to warm up.

 

We were at the races in Gainesville and I got parked over a mound with fire ants. I gave them a quart of 50 wt. Valvoline racing oil and that was that.

 

Looks like the chocolate powder that just won't mix with the milk.

Also, it looks like the fire ants didn't a ride on Noah's ark.
