Is the red ant invasion from Climate Change, or Putin, or both ?

Most of Europe welcomes two legged invaders. What’s the problem here?

Roger Vila, principal investigator at the Spanish institute's Butterfly Diversity and Evolution group.

Heck of a resume entry. I wonder if they have a SWAT team?

Fipronil works every time on these little bastards. It slowly poisons them and they take it into the colony and it kills the queen.

Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Spray em with a can of black Krylon paint. When they go back down in their hole, they’ll see they are black and start shooting each other.

Must have been brought there by the WEF for a supply of bugs to eat and be happy.

re: “Large cities such as Barcelona, Rome, London or Paris could be “considerably affected” by this invasive species,”

Above a certain latitude, they don’t fare well. Its the cold they don’t do well in. A few winters back many of the fire ant mounds/population died back and we had less of a problem for a few years ... roughly 33 degrees N in Texas.

Many, many moons ago, I had a double college major of Spanish and archaeology. Eventually it became apparent that archaeology was no way to pay a mortgage. I did get to work on an ancient Mayan site in Central America. Some days, instead of excavation, we worked on mapping as much of the city as possible. This one person (idiot) was not paying attention to his surroundings. In the middle of the jungle, he sat down on a red ant hill. The ants did not take too kindly to him. We stripped his clothing and beat the ants off of him. He was not stung too much. The professor running the dig did not send him outside the camp again.

I wonder which political party he belongs to?

All they gotta do is crawl into a shipping container in Texas and survive an ocean voyage to Europe.
