Fire ants are not uncommon in the American south, but I don’t know if they’re especially likely to invade homes.
Comment on Plant shaming should be a thing
blackbrook@mander.xyz 10 months agoHaving fire ants in your house seems pretty no bueno. Is this a common hazard in some places?

Yes. They are an invasive species in much of the American South (and beyond).

Speaking for us living in Alabama, cockroaches, fire ants, and scorpions are the reason most of us happily pay for pest control services.

I know that it’s probably a sign of impending ecological doom, but where I live used to have scorpions coming in all the time. I don’t think I’ve even seen evidence of them outside for close to a decade. I guess I can appreciate the silver lining of the giant mushroom cloud.
