You do NOT want to anger a red ant.
There can be more than one type of red ant but, in general, these are usually red imported fire ants, Pereira says. Fire ants are usually medium size and some can be up to ¼ inch long. Fire ants are notorious for their aggressive nature and will go on the offense when their nest is disturbed, Pereira says.Fire ants like warmer climates, so you’re more likely to see them in southern states. “They don’t usually occur above Maryland or Oklahoma,” Pereira says.
Fire ants “often nest in soil and other moist environments such as irrigated lawns and the edges of riverbanks and ponds,” Meek says. “Indoors, they can be found entering through cracks and utility penetrations in concrete at times.”Just like black ants, red ants will bite as a form of defense. “Even the fire ant can bite you with their mandibles, but it doesn’t hurt that much,” Pereira says.
“Because red imported fire ants can be sometimes a danger to humans and pets, it is a good idea to consult with professionals regarding ways to control them,” she says. “A trained professional will come to your home and conduct a thorough inspection inside and outside to develop a customized treatment plan.”
In general, Pereira says you can often get rid of ants with the proper bait and clean-up methods. But if you’re struggling or the ants just don’t seem to be going away, don’t hesitate to call for help.
