Gross! We know Texas's propensity to export things [see Bush]. " Well, like other famed exports, these ants aren't native. They first popped up in Mississippi or Alabama in the 1930s. Uh.......MISS and ALA are blaming it on TX.....claiming they crossed in a ball over the Rio Grande from Mexico. I understand the 'coyote' made some nice money. And they are really adaptable. Last I heard they have made some behavioral modifications that allows them to deal with colder winters. Don't you be fear mongering.....if the Seattle cold don't get them, the rain will. So you might be seeing them soon. If you start seeing really big ant mounds, like #2 washtub size or larger, then you have a good chance that y'all have been gifted. Now I am worried.
