Default Red Ants

down here we have red imported fire ants. every ant hill i ever swung my coil over has give me good tones.

but these things are vicious. not only do they bite but they sting. yes they have venom simular to wasp. they are called fire ants because their sting... even one tiny single sting feels like your skin is on fire.

they also love any electrical wires that are buried.

my theory on the ants and on the grubs...

any time there is corosion of metals there is also minute electrical discharges. very small but they are there. any time two disimular metals are exposed to a corosive they produce an elctrical charge. its how batteries work. i believe the grubs and ants are extra sensitive to these charges and are drawn to em.

just my opinion. i may be wrong...

HAPPY HUNTIN YALL AND :merrychristmas:
