When DD was 18 months old, she was out in the back yard playing one day, and suddenly she started screaming, "BEES! BEES!" I ran to her and found her covered in fire ants up to her knees. That poor child had bites all over her little feet and legs. This was just about the time that fire ants had made their way up from the south and into Georgia, and I had never heard of them. But the very next day, there was a report on the news about the little devils, and I knew right away that they were what had gotten my sweet DD. The bites burned her for a long time the day she stepped on the mound, then the bites festered and were just gross looking. After that, they itched her for days. Ever since then, I have been a one-woman war machine against fire ants. When they build a mound in my yard, I take my trusty fire ant killer outside, and sprinkle it all around the mound, and as I do, I am doing my witchy voice and telling them, "chow time, my pretties," while laughing hysterically.
This is why I hate them so much, and the films mentioned in the link filled me with joy and satisfaction. Call me nuts, but I do so enjoy seeing them tortured. Sorry if I grossed you out with the link, didn't mean to. I thought it was a beautiful sight!..LOL!

I don't like the little critters either.

You didn't gross me out - I simply just didn't find the film clips very interesting! Guess I was expecting to see something "dramatic" happen!! LOL
I have an ant hill (not fire ants) under one of my half-barrel planters out front - I kill them off every year, but I guess not totally since they come back again! What kind of grits do you use, Dannie? The quick cooking kind or the other?!!
