    I remeber one time i was playing paintball in the woods and i nieled down in one of those giant fire ant piles. I ended up getting the shit stung out of me and i jumped up to get them off then all of a sudden i get hit by like 30 paintballs coming out of no where. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life

      +ojjuice man i was walking with my friend where there was a lot of sand then i stopped for a second because k thought i felt some thing of course there was 89 million ants already on me but my friend had already left without 1

    • @madmanmatt12
      @madmanmatt12 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Nicholas T So you would laugh if he fell on the ant hill and got hundreds of thousands of fire ant bites because he tore down a couple ant hills and maybe killed a few when they hold no relevance in the world nor do they do anything beneficial to anyone or anything they do more harm then good so why waste time having compassion for such a worthless creature. He should of just taken a flame thrower to all of them and ensured that they all were wiped out so they don't cause harm to anyone or anything anymore. They are a nuisance and they shouldn't even exist.

    • @novemberstango7291
      @novemberstango7291 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      First of all, please learn to use commas and periods; that paragraph was extremely difficult for me to read...let alone understand. Secondly, there really was no good reason for him to do that and destroy their home. You say that ants are "worthless creatures, a nuisance and shouldn't exist," but without them our eco systems would be extremely unbalanced. There would be no control to many other more annoying bugs. Plus ants are a big part of decomposing dead animals.
      I could actually argue that humans are more of a nuisance for the planet. We destroy and pollute the earth, we kill/hunt for fun, and we destroy the habitats of the animals we share the planet with.
      So please, take the time to think before you post such foolish comments. Though I respect your right to express your opinion, if you are going to argue a point, at least have some sound facts rather than just emotion driven biases.

    The best way to kill a fire ant hill it to take a pressure washer and carve the hill till it's a hole filled with water, and while your doing this have a peice of rebar heating in a fire, then stick the rebar in the water, and you get instant boiled fire ants, in case you can't tell, I don't like fire ants very much.

      +Mel burwick If that movie actually happened to a real person, they would get their head bitten off by the first ant they met.
      Their dead body would then be carried back to the nest and either stored or fed to the young (which are similar to maggots, not "smaller, cuter ants".

    bought "farmland" in Texas. had fireants. saw a calf get up on a mound & went from white to red being swarmed in less than a minute. They killed that calf & stripped it to bones in a few days. fought ants w raid, gasoline, Amdro, explosives. Nothing worked til we called in professionals. Whatever they used, worked! Saw a flood take out a nest but ants formed into an interlocking ball & simply floated away in flood, theoretically to recolonize where ever that "ball" floated to. Was told by exterminator they travel by water w multiple queens inside ball unaffected. Amazing critters but spooky.

    Still remember the very first time I ever encountered a fire ant mound. Was 7, playing fetch with the dog in the yard. ball landed in an ant mound and the dog started barking at the ants...obviously he knew what they were. Me, I had only seen black ants before and figured they're harmless and picked up the ball...they were all over my hand. So bad I didn't go to school for three days.

They are an enemy of fire ants and they have moved the fire ants out of my back yard. I have been very happy to welcome the crazy ants in the yard, they have not been aggressive like fire ants.

    Apparently every other ignorant tree hugger doesn't understand that One, ants have no nerves and are not sentient, they can't feel, emotionally or physically, and two, fire ants are an invasive species in the majority of the americas, their presence there is harming the local ecosystem.
    So stop whining and watch the damn video.
    Edit: As pointed out by PrincessJessie99, ants do indeed have a nervous system, i am incorrect as far as that statement goes, they do not however, have pain receptors and therefore do not feel pain. As far as sentience, i believe after further looking into the matter, that ant do have some level of sentience. However, whether they have the capacity for emotions is unknown, and based on their form of communication via pheromones, and their VERY basic capacity to perform assigned roles in a colony with no ability to deviate from said role. I'd say it's very likely that no, they do not have emotions like most mammals.

      Mizore Shirayuki "ants have no nerves" Did you not take basic biology in middle school? Yes, ants do have nerves, as do all insects... Whether or not they are sentient is unknown to science, so don't try to pass your opinion on the matter as fact, it makes you sound stupid...

    Once when I was at school me and two of my friends were playing Pokemon (like, pretending to be trainers) and I stood in an anthill for like 5 minutes. I was screaming cuz it hurt so bad and so one of my friends got the teachers and my shoes were FILLED. The next day I went to the same ant hill with the same friends, grabbed a big stick, and destroyed the entire ant hill :D

    When in the South, beware the fire ant. Any time you stop in an open, grassy place, look down. May sure you haven't disturbed a mound. They tend to cover their prey (your foot and leg) and then make a coordinated attack via chemical trigger.

    After living in Florida for 18 years, I know fire ants very well. I used grits, half cup of grits on each mound, they eat & feed their queen, the grits swell up & kill them. Or pour gasoline in the mound & burn it. I must say the grits worked better.

    In North Florida up to Middle Georgia it is common to see fields that are covered with hundreds of these mounds as far as you can see. About 10 feet apart. Older cows know not to step in them. Calves can die if they do.
    In North Georgia(Atlanta area) the mounds are made of red clay and it is very sticky. Step in one and the dirt (with ants) sticks to you.
    In North Florida the mounds are made of sand and are not quite so sticky as the red clay. In South Florida frequently the sand won't pile up into a mound. So you can be standing on a nest and not even know it for about 10 seconds.
    The bites burn like a cigarette at first. Then becomes an itchy red welt that takes up to a week to subside. In 10 seconds just about when you realize your mistake you can be bitten two dozen times. And for the next week you use up an entire tube of hydrocortisone. But a prescription for triamcinolone is better. And for the rest of your 2 week vacation you find yourself afraid to step off the sidewalk anywhere you go. And if you get sunburned on top of the fire ant bites you will wish to be put to sleep for the rest of the vacation.

    Good. I hope you made the fuckers move, my family has them everywhere in our yard. Been battling them for over 10 years myself, my family doesn't call me "Ant Killer" for nothing. I could basically start a career in entomology, with the amount of knowledge I have from dealing with these critters.

  • @mikethompson2650

    A bit of advice, this worked for me, I had fire ant mounds in my backyard garden. All I did was to spray my entire backyard, back of house, patio, yard, fence, all of it with a mixture of lemon liquid dish washing soap and listerine mouthwash. That is all. Within a week the mounds were abandoned and all was well. I have used this trick once more and I have no fire ants at all. Works great. Should work just as well with regular ants as well.

    The school got shut down because of that.

    I remember back when I lived in Texas my parents accidently put a blanket on top of a fire ant hill. It was supposed to be a place where my sister (she was about 2 or 3 back then) could lay down. It was a nightmare. She couldn't even open and close her hands they were so swollen. I think I was left at home while they took her to the doctor, so I don't know what they did, but she was covered in red bumps for like 2 weeks.

    Reminds me of my childhood. But, breaking the mound was too easy. I used to try and get them out without touching it. I would stomp the ground near it. Also, I would try to rouse them by crouching down really close to the mound and yelling super loudly, things like, "HEEYYYYYY, AAANNTS!!!"
