Danger of disturbing a fire ant mound mini-documentary. It's not the big red imported fire ant mounds that will get you - those are obviously avooided - its the small fire ant colonies migrating to start a new colony that will catch people by surprise and put the bite on. These migrating ants are exceptionally aggressive and will bite like crazy. This often happens after a number of mounds are treated with poison bait and the survivors move to start new colonies. You just barely have to touch these new nest (not yet a mound) to gets hundreds of ants swarming almost immediately. <br /> <br />Video of fire ant colony on the move in the Florida Backyard: <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O99Rp3Ci7RA <br /> <br />For more info: <br />http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/ants/red_imported_fire_ant.htm <br />http://articles.extension.org/pages/11124/fire-ant-stings <br /> <br />New HD videos uploaded frequently.
