Just a heads up. Like we don't have enough fire ants to put up with in the Southeast. Now there's the Asian Needle ant. It's been around since the 30's but spreading. The problem is a venomous sting that can be deadly to those who are allergic to bee stings and similar.

From the University of Georgia:
