Do they live atop each other? How do they keep afloat without drowning?

Fire Ant Islands drift to sea and then on to Cuba

That looks like something to spray with oil and then light up.

Yep ... that’s how they survive. So now Houston is not only dealing with floods, but this ... and gators ... and snakes.

Googling around....looks like fire ants are pretty common in parts of Texas.

Spray with kerosene (charcoal fluid), and light.

Best part is listening to their little screams.

Used to see floating fire ant islands all the time in the floods that occurred in Metairie, Louisiana when I was a kid.

People that like to walk around in flood waters know about them. Avoid them!

However, this is probably caused today by Glowbull Warming and Donald Trump.

I had a mound of fire ants like that in my backyard when I lived in Fla., didn’t call the press.

We’ve got them here in Alabama, and they are nasty little buggers. They’re tiny but one bite feels like you got injected with acid. I accidentally disturbed a hidden nest of them in the yard one year, and a half dozen bites was all it took for my hand to go numb up to my forearm.

My dad used to pour gas on fire ant beds in our yard in south Georgia. Didn’t light them on fire. So there were these big brown splotches in the yard, and the fire ants would just build a new bed about 6 feet from the old one.

I hate those bastards. Use whatever you’ve got including tactical nuclear weapons then hang their little heads on sticks as a reminder to any survivors.
