Caution Fire Ants
Texas has an issue with red imported fire ants. Somehow, they got introduced to the state in the 1950s and have been relentless ever since. They can even spread faster with their ability to link their bodies together to make rafts on the water.
Quick Texas Fact: Red imported fire ants have displaced a lot of native species of fire ants in the state. The Solenopsis geminata is the most common native species encountered in Texas.
