[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1146154, member: 14261"] I was watching a TV documentary about fireants. Basically here is what I took from the show: The fireants were introduced at a port in Alabama, from ships docked. They spread from that point mostly west. Fireants are present in South America but they do not represent much of the ant population. Whereas, in the areas in US where fireants have taken hold, they have dominated the ant population. The reason for this is that there are not enough competitive ant species here, to give fireants any problems. Apparently in South America, there are lots of other ants that keep them in check. I did not get to see the end of the show but I suspect that the solution proposed would be to import some other ants/insects to control the fireants. [/QUOTE]
