Ways To Prevent And Treat Fire Ant Bites

Bites from red imported fire ants cause a distinctive burning sensation on the skin. Once an individual has felt what fire ant bites feel like it is hard to compare to feeling to anything else. Even though fire ants are not native to the United States, they are widely present and will bite. As many as 200,000 fire ants may populate a single fire ant nest. When a fire ant nest is disrupted, fire ants become incredibly aggressive. When an individual provokes fire ants or disturbs the nest of fire ants they congregate on the individual and bite to gain a foothold on the skin, and then they start biting continuously.
