I was living down in central Georgia. I had a big pet cat who spent a lot of time outside. On my one acre lot, I had about 15 fire ant mounds. I destroyed the fire ants. And then I noticed that the cat was getting covered in ticks. And I figured that fire ants must eat ticks. Fire ants gotta eat something.

I left the fire ants alone, and in 3 months, I had 15 fire ant mounds once again. And never saw another tick on my cat.
