Fire ant bites are so nasty that it really scares me when a child gets into them.

Ants are really yucky when you get lots. last weekend we went to a BBQ and there was a banana chair that I was about to sit on when I noticed some large ants on it. I went to move it away to discover that there was a nest in the arm of the chair as they went insane and came out in masses. A couple of us dragged/pushed the chair outside the fence onto the grass, but the ants were everywhere anyway. Four small children running/toddling around managed to excape the worst.
