FIRE ANT
Although commonly referred to as a bite, red ants actually sting, not bite. In fact, red ants will sting humans who disturb their nest. The sting of a red fire ant is painful and often results in a raised welt that becomes a white pustule. Often, a person stung by red fire ants will receive multiple stings from more than one of the ants. Persons allergic to insect stings will react more severely to red ant “bites.” The red ants also known as the fire ant or RIFA, build large mound nests that are flattened, irregular in shape, and between one and four square feet in size. They are commonly introduced into new areas through potted plants, shrubs and trees. Red fire ants get their common name from their ability to inflict painful bites and stings.
