I remember that story, haven't read it in a long while. Pretty creepy. I grew up with fire ants, of course, living in the deep South. If you walk near a fire ant nest, you'll be covered in them, and every bite leaves a tiny blister that itches like the dickens. If you scratch it, you'll get a nasty rash. As a kid you learn to stay out of cow pastures, and other places where fire ants nest. DDT worked, but we don't have DDT anymore, for good reasons, of course. I don't like to kill insects, but fire ant nests call for gasoline, poured liberally all over the nest. As for lighting the gasoline, ask Ish.

That sounds like it. Good memory you have (now who's the author?) Didn't he have a moat, which he tops off with gasoline in an attempt to napalm them?
