I sat my detector down yesterday to dig a signal and put it right beside a fire ant mound.

Didn’t realize it until AFTER I slid my arm back in...

Woke up to these this morning. Could have been a LOT worse. Watch what you’re doing!

At least no fire ants in Minnesota. Lots of ticks though.

There a lot of things you'll hear like Ampho, diatomaceous earth, Borax, orthorthene, even cinnamon.

Ants are always mad at me anyway... especially when i detect...

For I swing my detector coil so low... the ants have to duck.

:P

The fire ants are especially bad right now here in Louisiana. All the wet weather we’ve been having has brought them close to the surface. I’d rather have to dodge dog poo than watch out for fire ants.
