Fire ants

When I was a kid, in California, we had what we called fire ants. They were big, red, and could take a chunk out of tender skin with their nasty mandibles. The fire ants here in Texas are a different variety. They're tiny, and you can be covered with them before you even notice. They'll swarm up your ankles and legs and then all start biting at once. Once you finally get rid of the little beasts you are left to enjoy an annoying itch, reminiscent of mosquito bites, for several days. Needles to say, we all HATE fire ants.
'Seems like on a weekly basis we find another hill to treat, and killing the little devils is every bit as satisfying as this radio ad suggests. When I first heard it I laughed so hard my sides hurt - and I still love it. The ad may offend some environmentalists, but if it does, it's because they've never stepped in a fire ant nest! Click and enjoy. . . . ORTHO RADIO AD
