I didn't know that Arkansas had them.

I know that there's some powder to get rid of them. You sprinkle it all over the yard. But..I don't remember the name.

My brother lived in FL and left a bad of dog food in the car overnight. The inside of his car was covered with the ants. They were even in the trunk.

I have stepped on one of their hills while wearing flip flops.
They bite.explode I had them all over my foot and leg. That was my first step out of the car in Florida.laugh

I have posted this before but it's funny as hell. Last year I was golfing with 3 buddies. About the 8th hole I teed off first. While I'm standing there waiting on the other 3 to tee off I felt something on my left leg and I look down and my leg is covered in fire ants. I franticly brushed them off and I ran back to the golf cart. I drop my shorts to make sure no fire ants were making its way to the "motherland". My 3 dumb ass friends are standing there laughing like hell. Well one of them says that he had heard urine would kill the sting. Then these 3 ass holes unzip there pants and pretend they are going to pee on me. About this time 2 golf cars of old men come around the trail. Here I am with my shorts around my ankles and my friends with their shorts unzipped. We couldn't play anymore after that because they were laughing to hard.
