Fire ant bites!

I don’t know him off hand but I would if I saw him. I’m sure my father in law knows him.

Break them open and dab with ammonia. The inject you with an acid and the ammonia neutralizes it. They clear up very quickly this way.

Ditto. Turpentine will work too.

I was in Texas once, taking photos at a roping arena.

I was wondering why the horses were stamping their feet so much?

I kinda felt this tingling/biting sensation - but figured it was a misquito or something?

Later on, I was having a shower and just about passed out when I saw all the Fire Ant bites. OMG. I think it looks worse then it felt.

I don't know how you all deal with them nasty little creatures.

And whoever has that ant avitar...it is giving me the creeps. LOL!

For only $19.95 ( plus shipping/handling ), we can ship you all the ants you want in order to let you learn how to deal with them.

If this works out good for us, we will also get a info-commercial going on tv to try and sell all of you that don't have them some of these wonderful ants. Could be more profitable than cattle.

I am selling 3-N-1 Aarvarks for $4,000. They have long snouts and love ants. As a matter of fact, one of their names is an anteater. Don't be telling anyone I sell these because I only have 50-60 left.

Psych!

Or you could just pee on your leg, or better yet have a friend do it.

The other night I was pulling the strings off a roll of hay and the dang ants had built a nest int the roll. I had the roll up in the air and I got showered in the vile creatures. They ate me alive. I hate them.

Did you take Treys-L's advice but with a full body application?

Nahh! They are annoying but I've been bit, stung, poisoned, scratched, poked, punched and bruised so many times I'm just one big whelp so they just don't really bother me that much anymore.

Do they go dormant in the winter? Or do they still come out on the warm days? At what temp will they not survive?

They never go dormant. Even on a cold day they will come out if you disturb the mound. I really don,t know how far north they go. I assume they stay where the ground does not freeze.

Heck if the ground freezes I think they just dig deeper and wait for the thaw. Same in extremely dry weather. They just dig down deeper and wait for a rain.....first rain all the ant hills will have fresh new dirt piled up on it and they'll be foraging again.

It is the same for a wasp or yellow jacket sting. Put ammonia on it and the pain stops immediately. Nuetralizes the venom just as you say.

Grandmaw would put a blob of Garrett's snuff on a wasp sting. Can't remember if it worked or just got your mind off the sting.

I tried that ONCE. It is hard to believe you don't remember how bad it hurt. Amonia kills the pain immediately. It is cheap. Amonia bottles are in the truck, tractor, etc.
