hatcity Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Could be fire ants instead. Them buggers will hurt ya bad. 'Bout 50 get on you and you don't know it. The leader says now, and they all bite you at the same time. Stepped on a pile once, and they started biting when they crawled up my pants leg. Hopped in the truck and dropped trow. Little red bups all over.

They are the main reason I gave up on the home garden, they just love soft tilled ground and rows. Lil bastards would get in potatos and drill holes in every one of them. The only sure fire way to kill them is with a 4 lb. shophammer and a flat piece of steel plate, its time consumming, but they just cant take that. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it is pretty funny seeing a grown man roll a tiny insect up in his fingers over and over while cursing the m-f'er, then slamming it to the ground as if this final act of power will make him feel superior somehow!I HATE Mother-*($#$*#*$(#$*#@(*$%^ FIRE ANTS!

randyp Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 So what kind is that? (the snake, not the grouser!) Actually Red Horse, that particular speciman is non-venomous, he will prolly make you hurt yourself though, It is a "chicken Snake", when disturbed he will mimic a rattlesnake, just lacks the fangs and rattles. That one was bout lil over 5 feet long. A lil farther into warmer weather, the rattlers will be coming out, thas the ones you gotta watch, those and the stinking stump tailed cotton mouth water moccasins. randyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a sweet taste to it, I guess, and from what I've heard they seem to like it. Leave a ring of it around their nest and over the course of a few weeks, and thinking it is food, they take it down inside the nest to store. Make sure they have a good supply of gun powder to take down into their nest for a few weeks....and then shove a fuse down in there. Make sure it's long enough that you can light it a good ways off.Then install the in-ground swimmin' pool ya been wanting to fill in the crater. 1 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
