I got a call to pick up a car,-b-que. The woman was trying to start it, when it caught of fire. She didn't realize it was burning, so she kept cranking it, which added more fuel to the fire. She was lucky she got out unscathed.

I crawled under it to hook it up, and laid down in a swarm of fire ants. I came flying back out. They were in my shirt, so I grabbed the collar and ripped it over my head. My hat, glasses, pen, flashlight, magnet, and the trailer remote went flying all over. The woman thought I had lost my mind,when and got scared. When she saw I was covered in ants she understood.

Once I was dresses again, I loaded the auto flambe up, and headed back home.

My arm is chewed up.

No pics of the rest of the bites because they are on my butt. I don't want some of you pervs calling me for more pics.

Those little bastards suck! The worst part is the itching for days while they heal
 
I have had too many incidents of fire ants. When I was in FL, I hit a nest with the lawn mower and it blew ants all over me. I still have evidence of that on me. A couple of years ago, I had a belt go on I40 in Mebane, pulled over and when I crawled under the JK to work on it, I rolled into a nest. That was just insult to injury.
 
Y'all gonna think I'm crazy, but my wife bought one of these, and the darn thing works!

I've used it on yellow jacket and ant bites a few times now, and the ones I got to within a minute or so were appreciably less itchy and painful, like to the point of the next day most of them I didn't have any pain or itching at the spot of the sting/bite. However, I used my head to find yellow jackets a couple weeks ago, and forgot we had the thing, so it was probably 10 minutes before I let my wife suck on the head, and it didn't seem to make any difference on those.

Carry a little pump sprayer with a mix of permethrin and water. It basically kills them on the spot without the bad chemical effects. It’s what I use around the farm cause it doesn’t mess with the animals. (Except cats! They will die if they get around any amount of permethrin).

How do you mix it and where do you get the concentrate?

@jeepinmatt said “there’s a fire ant hill” right as I stepped my foot down. My leg looked like your arm.

At least I said something immediately instead of taking a pic or video for NC4X4 first. :laughing:
