Squeegee Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Fire ants are just red ants, but they are bigger than a lot of species and give off aggressive vibes, a bit like middle aged ajarns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanno Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 This is not an ant and there are no Fire Ants in Thailand. The Red Weaver ants are sometimes called fire ants as they are red but whilst they are quick to bit, they do not deliver stings like the real Fire ants (they are also quite tasty in a chicken curry popular here in Cambodia:-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native to South America they were introduced to the USA, China and Philippines I think. The Red Ants in Thailand are not Fire Ants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDGRUEN Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Fire ants of South America and Southern North America are not red... they are black, somewhat small to medium in size and their formic acid bite is AWFUL... raising a pustule in a half hour ... They build large sandy/ earthen mounds and will swarm attack anything / anyone that steps into the mound... they have been known to kill animals and even humans when attacking in a swarm... I am a very experienced veteran of fire ant infestations ... Just hope hope that they never reach Thailand... I have never encountered an ant in Thailand that is even remotely as bad...

hanno Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_ant Again, they are weaver ants and not fire ants. Strong bite but the pain stops the second you pull them off as they are not venomous. Real fire ants are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they can be really vicious, and some people are allergic to the venom, like with bees. They're tiny and they swarm, so if you get some on your ankles while you're outside, they'll start stinging before you even realize they're there. Not likely they can kill you unless you're allergic. But that thing in the pic? Like several have already said, it's not an ant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought I would be smart one day and attacked the small fire ant mound on my back lawn in Houston with the mower. Since I didn't have the grass catcher bag attached, the angry little buggers got blasted all over the yard... and the driveway... and the neighbors barbecue... as they were having Sunday lunch. Took me a few weeks to make peace after that bit of cleverness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
