Just had my first run in with these evil little bastids.
Stopped by my brothers land to get a quick zero on a rifle. I used an old oak as a rest. I don’t know how long they were on me before I felt it but I know how they got their name now.

When we lived in S. Texas, all three boys were young. We had a park near the house with trails through the oak brush, it was full of anthills.
They loved to go back there and pound those things with rocks to see the ants come boiling out.

We had them on the run using Mirex treated corncob media until the tree huggers stepped in. They primarily lived where there were no fire ants, so they were experts.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I remember standing on a sidewalk in Austin waiting for the light to change so I could cross the street. This is 1985.
I recall being bit and holy cow. The person standing by me said it was a fire ant.
I am from Arizona, and we don’t have them here. I had been bit by ants before, but it’s usually when I inadvertently stand on their nest.
This fire ant must have claimed that sidewalk his.

The old tobacco insecticide Orthene is your huckleberry. Stinky stuff but it works.

That sucks !
How many times did you get hit ?
Luckily, my climate is to cold for them....I’ve never seen them, either. Hope I never do.

Get Talstar Pro, if that isn't available get Bifen IT, they are made for termites and will kill fire ants instantly, nothing more satisfying then watching then die as you spray.

Talstar (Bifenthrin) is ok. Better yet, anything containing Fipronil such as Termidor.

I don’t know how long they were on me before I felt it but I know how they got their name now. That’s their plan of attack. Head honcho let’s a few hundred of his foot soldiers get on board. Nobody stings till he blows the whistle…………then they all sting.
