The big Slimmer got some nasty bites on his feet once while visiting in TX. My sister in Texas also ended up in the hospital because of the little buggers. She was sitting out in a lawn lounge chair and they crawled up the legs of the chair...biting her all over . She was napping and didn't even notice them until it was too late. Keep a close eye on them when you're out walking around!! At least a gator you can see ... these little buggers are another story.~melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923627491671705881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-37333904547376568782012-02-23T00:27:35.923-05:002012-02-23T00:27:35.923-05:00Glad that soap dish got put in place.

I once saw a field crawling with them as far as the eye could see. It was creepy. I do not envy anyone with an ant problem. Take care. my daughter is working CRAZY shifts and I have been babysitting as a result.

We have those fire ants also. I kept them down pretty good when Ken was in pest control but I was noticing last week how fast they are coming back. We need to get something else.

They covered my entire leg in seconds.<br /><br />I landed in the hospital with a severe reaction.<br /><br />Never walked barefooted in the backyard ever again.<br /><br />Coming originally from New England, I was not used to "Red Ants". Plus, the Augusta sod is so different thant up north.<br /><br />Oh, give me back the city life!

Always an interesting subject. Glad you got the soap dish in, in time. I should have known those hills were fire ants.

She was mowing the yard and she didn't notice right away that they were on her and a friend put nail polish on where the ants were so they could go no further. They talked like they were in a column but I wasn't there. I vowed then I never wanted to see a fire ant. I would not know what they were.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-76651449782859873112012-02-22T10:47:01.866-05:002012-02-22T10:47:01.866-05:00I guess this is the time to be grateful that I don...I guess this is the time to be grateful that I don't winter in Florida. As far as i know we don't have fire ants in Ohio. We just have to count our blessings somedays even though we really wish we were enjoying that wonderful sunshine you have there. You two make a great team...what one of you doesn't think of the other one of you will. You are blessed to have each other. I know I said that before, but it is a truth worth repeating. Hope you enjoy your new site there and have a wonderful Wednesday!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-26303631255670257492012-02-22T10:27:18.023-05:002012-02-22T10:27:18.023-05:00Knew Sheila had it right about the fireants...had ...Knew Sheila had it right about the fireants...had a very bad experience with the critters at Eglin AFB campground. And along side the road in Texas! And then when we bought a "new" house in Clearwater and there was a hill right outside our bedroom window...a window which BTW was an old crank out type that didn't close properly...when I discovered the ants were coming in the window...I had all new windows installed throughout the house! If you're not already allergic to fireants you can become allergic...if you're going to live in states with high populations of fireants I'd suggest talking to your doc about carrying Benadryl tablets around with you just in case. The sooner the Benadryl is taken the less severe the allergic reaction. And you might even need to carry an epipen...talk to your doctor!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
