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 Bite. It was dark So thats why i could not see it
Dude I'm sorry I was trying to like your comment I accidentally reported it but it probably won't be deleted because it's not too offensive or anything else but sorry... :c
Hello Gubbin_Guy_Productions, thanks for viewing! Well glad you told me that I know our local park has these mounds out there as well. I will fix me up a water bottle of salt water and see how they like it!
Sad to say those are only average sized hills, fire ant hills can get as big as a vw bug cars. In Texas they are a part of everyday life, and we all hate them.
Jesus fuck imagine mistaking that mound for a small innocent sand pile and covering up both of your bare feet with it just to realize thousands of bites after taking your feet out :(
Fun fact: fire ants aren't native to the US, but they were brought here in the 20's due to poor shipping practices by companies, and they have cause major ecological damage, so you would be helping the environment by actively hunting and killing any red ant mounds you see
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.
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.
Nicholas T Oh don't start with the youtube grammar and punctuation police routine. If you couldn't hardly read that last message then that's on you. With that being said your comparison doesn't really work. Some little ants that cause people harm and even the regular ants, they don't matter in this world .
When I was doing compulsory military service in South West Africa (Namibia) Their was a quite large ant species that would actually attack the burning end of of cigarette stump I threw down.
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".
***** I'm not american, so I don't get it. American liberals and conservatives are literally the wrong way around when you look up the words in a dictionary.
Liarra Sniffles You're quite right. I should have said "future bleeding heart Leftist". Although most children tend towards that and tend to grow out of it as they develop common sense.
***** I'm all for labor atm, although I'd want some green seats because they are the ones most against all these "sell our souls to america" deals going on.
Maybe once the ants rebuild they can make a cast of it. Just need a large amount of soda cans and a home made furnace. It needs to get up between 800-1100 degrees to melt aluminum
A nest of them got on my foot once when I lived in Texas. What a wonderful introduction to Fire Ants. What's worse is it only takes one to get on you. They are extremely aggressive. Plus they carry off their dead.
Michael Sommerfeld Don't even, leave trails of sugar, but make it so that the paths won't intersect, then proceed to dump sugar in/on the entrance and provide your little and friends with war paint.
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.
When I was little, my dad would go out into our backyard with a shovel. He would scoop up the anthill, then fling it over our fence and into the pond that was behind our house.
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.
I'm in Texas and I thought that fire ants were here to stay. We recently had a new species of ants move in called crazy ants. 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. Enjoyed your video, glad that isn't in my yard.
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...
PrincessJessie99 You are absolutely correct they do have nerves and a nervous system, however the point of the incorrect statement still stands, as they do not have pain receptors, my apologies, i'm an IT major, not a biology major.
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
we have these super bad in Georgia, I joke all the time that georgia is just one giant anthill. I always enjoyed writing my name in them as a child, my name would stay there until it rained.
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.
We have huge around 2meter high ant hill here, in our forest, but we leave them.. they eat mosquito eggs/poisonous bugs (we have loads of them) the colony is 2-3 years old, specie is unknown but the ants are 2-2,5 cm of size, sting and have ussualy blue and red stripes on their thorax
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.
1.Find the ant hills 2.Pour molten aluminum into the hole of the ant hills 3.Wait until they harden 4.Dig out the hardened aluminum 5.Sell them as art 6.??? 7.PROFIT Seriously those things are cool as hell
when I was four one of these was in my preschool and in the sand so it blended in, being the asshole child I was I wanted to "_ruin someone's sandcastle_" but I instead I got a bunch of fucking little red ants all over my entire body
When I was four years old me and my parents were visiting my grandparents in South Mississippi. I didn’t know what a fire ant bed looked like. I set down on one thinking it was just a mound of dirt. I spent three days in the hospital.
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.
I remember when I was in Grade 1... when we use to do laps around our oval there was this small hill surrounded by trees and bushes etc. The sad thing is it was a Fire Ant Mound. The funny thing is we had to run over it. 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.
Was bitten on the foot by a fire ant that had strayed into the garage - it was incredibly painful. The burning sensation continued for days. You DO NOT want these on your property.
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!!!"
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
Get stung by a paper wasp,that is my worst experience,IT FREAKIN BURNS MAN IT BURNS
damn that sounds painful. The only thing worse would be one of those Japanese hornets.
+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
Bite. It was dark
So thats why i could not see it
+ojjuice man those things are why I don't find japan as pleasing anymore.
Why did I watch this in bed at night?
i learned that i shouldn't kick any convenient dirt pile while wearing sandals or i will meet my demise
I tried filming one of these. I dropped my camera and couldn't get it back. I came back a week later to find they built into the camera.
I can't Think of a name HAHA
I think we need some molten aluminum.
4 real
That's exactly what I was thinking! He should've put that monster of a mound to good use.
LOL
gets the molten lava ready
Those ants come from a broken home.
These ant videos make me itchy
Those ants are like "dude do u know how long it takes us to build this shit??""
anthony pizzi yeah, like, a day.
Joseph Williams Fire ants? More like 6 days lol
Actually when I destroyed an ant hill the build very fast I left for one hour and when I came back the ant hill was half built and I was like...
Dude I'm sorry I was trying to like your comment I accidentally reported it but it probably won't be deleted because it's not too offensive or anything else but sorry... :c
Moon Moon The Wolf haha its all good buddy no worries!
People don't realize fire ants are an invasive species and we're already making efforts to reduce their population lmao
Just dig a nest and throw a grenade in it before they come out and run.
*gains one star*
Child gets shot nobody bats an eye.
Guy destroys anthill and everyone loses their shit.
US Foreign Policy
+ALIEN SCIENTIST I laughed so hard at this
That cricket hoping around probably thought what the hell did i get myself into lol.
Hairspray and lighter...
Want to see a hell of a fight? Take a shovelful from one anthill and throw it in another hill that you stirred up.
fun fact: all of the ants in the world combined weigh more than all the humans
fun fact: fuck off teaching nerd
fun fact: I have a boner right now
Spoder Man #totallyrelatable
Spoder Man SPOODER MAN NOOOO
True
Pouring extremely salty water really gets fire ants even more pissed than just making holes in the mound.
Hello Gubbin_Guy_Productions, thanks for viewing! Well glad you told me that I know our local park has these mounds out there as well. I will fix me up a water bottle of salt water and see how they like it!
***** Well good luck with life even though you don't have one and comments can't cause cancer. You just proved that you are an idiot.
Louis Crowe you prove you're an idiot each time you post. ^.^
I think Louis is joking.

Sad to say those are only average sized hills, fire ant hills can get as big as a vw bug cars. In Texas they are a part of everyday life, and we all hate them.
Build a wall
we need to build a waaallll, china
I had a giant mound of ants in my backyard so I just poured gasoline in there and lit it
Awesome
Now your ordinary ants are fire ants!
M MT Good one! 😅
BARRET50ification lol
Dude why tf didn't u record it :(((
Jesus fuck imagine mistaking that mound for a small innocent sand pile and covering up both of your bare feet with it just to realize thousands of bites after taking your feet out :(
Gasoline. You don't even have to light it.
I'll drop my mixtape on it
Fun fact: fire ants aren't native to the US, but they were brought here in the 20's due to poor shipping practices by companies, and they have cause major ecological damage, so you would be helping the environment by actively hunting and killing any red ant mounds you see
In Texas we just call those ants.
yeah im not from texas but stil where Im from it just called an ant if its a fire ant its an ant if itw a crazy black ant its an ant
well there fire ants
you people are pissed on him. Then why would no one say shjt about the guy who pour liquid aluminum in ant nest to make a casting ?
+simon cao He did it to an abandoned nest.. I think he even says so in the video
When the ants started pouring out I suddenly got itchy
If he slipped and fell on it I would die of laughter
peyton durnil That's not very nice
***** Destroying a home for millions of ants isn't very nice either, it's his comeuppance.

Disturb it? I'm sorry but you fucking destroyed it
Kasper Sörensen thats mabe 5% of the nest you should see whats under the hill
You should see the bottom of an ant hill
nice to see that you value the life of an ant over human
Sant Kasper
+Kasper Sörensen That probably put a 0.000000000000001% of a dent int he ant population
Dammit, you should've tried making an aluminum casting of it
I agree that would of been amazing to see
Maybe once the ants rebuild they can make a cast of it. Just need a large amount of soda cans and a home made furnace. It needs to get up between 800-1100 degrees to melt aluminum
It needs a big hole to pour the aluminium?
***** not really, just one big enough to form a base
Why are you destroying these insects home what do you get out of it, the thrill of seeing thousands of them at the same time?
A nest of them got on my foot once when I lived in Texas. What a wonderful introduction to Fire Ants. What's worse is it only takes one to get on you. They are extremely aggressive. Plus they carry off their dead.
Jeezus man, I was watching this at home and thought I actually felt one crawling on me! LOL
Hate it when it happens.
That's not disturbing....that's actually destroying a fire ant mound.
Nah, they'll rebuild it. It doesn't take long.
What else they gonna do with their lives? Atleast he gave them a job to do ( rebuild their home ) otherwise their lives would be boring
Hydrogen Luke it probably took them a year to build that!
titwio We would be better off if he killed them, they are an invasive species.
lydia, are u stupid? they build it in under 48 hours ...
You know what would be funny? Whacking those ant hills with a golf club.
Nope
Yes
Yep
Ants will fly up in the air and land in your hair, nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
thats only if you whack it straight upwards
The mounds we have in South Africa are litterely half as big as a grown man!
Found out I was allergic to these things when I was stationed in Texas.
Leave a trail of sugar between two hills and they'll fight to the death
Michael Sommerfeld Don't even, leave trails of sugar, but make it so that the paths won't intersect, then proceed to dump sugar in/on the entrance and provide your little and friends with war paint.
I'd say these ants could probably take over the world if their mound got to be the size of a Roman Empire. Just Amazing.
Who knows how much is actually underground
Thomas Martinez wow, I didn't think of that.
FuujinZakii yeah
No Nuclear weapons Ftw.
FuujinZakii They cant survive cold winters
I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this is visually pleasing
Hey now, starving kids in China could have eaten those ants.
Africa*
Yup, I'll just stay up here in Michigan!
They are pure evil, you learn quick to stir clear of the mounds when you're little.

Those ants are pissed, and fearless! The queen ant is probably issuing the command "Off with his head!" in ant language.
So silver prices, then ammo videos, some how I ended up here. Well at least I didn't end up watching UFO videos.
DMacGaming84 You traveled the youtube circle dude, surprised you didn'y end up on ufos from here

Pour molten aluminum down the top. Makes a cool sculpture.
Just imagine if he covered the whole thing with a gallon of gas XD R.I.P. Fire Ants ????-2014
2014-2014 Even the Fire ants with the longest life spans can only life up to 180 days.

thank God this ants don't live in my country
Although this kind of ant is a pest, I still find beautiful the way they build their homes...

I was thinking run bitch ruuuunnnn

That Guy I was thinking WTF ARE YOUR DOING BACKUP! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I know right. "They are killers. They will just come out and attack anything that disturbs the nest. So I have a stick here....
That Guy GET ON YOUR BIKE AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!
Should find another one and pour boiling water onto it.
The moment the ants came out i threw my phone across the room and started brushing my skin as if theres ants on it

Thank you for all the people who posted defensive comments towards the ants. Im sure they feel so much better now, knowing that you care!
I got destroyed by a colony when I was younger. I still get shivers thinking about it
fire ants are not gonna die by fire they only die when they got rain
shoulda stuck one pipe into one hill connecting to the other. you'd have war!
Fire ants Vs Liquid Nitrogen.
Put a big funnel in the top of the mound and let em freeze!
We have huge around 2meter high ant hill here, in our forest, but we leave them.. they eat mosquito eggs/poisonous bugs (we have loads of them) the colony is 2-3 years old, specie is unknown but the ants are 2-2,5 cm of size, sting and have ussualy blue and red stripes on their thorax
now imagine all those mounds being interconnected up to 10 feet below ground level.
dump a gallon of hot wax in them.
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.
Get some sweet stuff and pour some good poison all over it, mix it and serve.
loool

when I was four one of these was in my preschool and in the sand so it blended in, being the asshole child I was I wanted to "_ruin someone's sandcastle_" but I instead I got a bunch of fucking little red ants all over my entire body
where are the people with the molted aluminum when you need them?
I'm allergic to ants, so just watching this is giving me chills and I am beginning to itch
I'm in NC there's a lot of these mounds all around
I remember when I was 5 , 100's of ants climbed up my leg I thought they LIKED ME 😂😂😂😂😂👌🤗
When I destroy nests, I never use sticks.
I chuck rocks at the nest and watch it explode. Hehehe...
thats good fishing bait, take a peice of clear tape and get about 5 on there, fold the tape over a hook, and the fish love the small, and eat it
When I was four years old me and my parents were visiting my grandparents in South Mississippi. I didn’t know what a fire ant bed looked like. I set down on one thinking it was just a mound of dirt. I spent three days in the hospital.
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.
Aw you should pour molten aluminum! Kills them a lot and makes a good statue if you can dig it up and wash it
Flamethrower = problem solved
I remember when I was in Grade 1... when we use to do laps around our oval there was this small hill surrounded by trees and bushes etc. The sad thing is it was a Fire Ant Mound. The funny thing is we had to run over it.
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.
I threw a frog on one of those before. It didn't take long before the ants overtook the frog.
Something is on my leg...
It’s called lighter fluid and a match😂😂
Looks like the shit out of Indiana Jones: Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.
Was bitten on the foot by a fire ant that had strayed into the garage - it was incredibly painful.
The burning sensation continued for days. You DO NOT want these on your property.
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!!!"
