yea from what I've read we may hate them more
Strangely enough the West Side of San Antonio right where I'm at was one of the first places to get 'em. We've had them for several years.
Extremely mobile colonies. I've left a car in the driveway for a week and had 'em make a nest under the floor mat of all places. And if you leave anything edible out, they'll find it, even bags of dry pet food. Unlike fire ants too they climb, cant hang a hummingbird feeder without an ant trap of some kind.
The flip side is they are small, don't bite, and if you remove the food source they ain't usually a problem, leastways IME.
I'll take them over fire ants.
