yes.
Yes, there are ants that live in Wisconsin and bite. Fire ants one of them. Also, field ants will give you a pinch-like bite if you bother them. They will also bite pets.
The fire ant will bite you, leaving a bad rash or sore which is very itchy. This is where they get the name 'Fire Ant'.
The pain is due to the formic acid in the ant's bite.
Ants do not urinate on people when they bite them because they typically do not urinate at all. They can however secrete a poison when they bite which can be painful.
Fire ants are a very aggressive type of ant, which is not afraid of people and is known to bite them. They are called fire ants because they are red-brown in color and because their bites cause burning sensations.
Definitely. Fire ants in numbers can kill humans. Ants are usually gatherers but if something threatens them they will amass on the threat and light it up with the acid that they inject with their bite.
I live in Florida. Before I had Argentine ants (little black ants, bazillions of them) I had Fire ants. Fire ants are not very nice Ants since they bite and like to wait until several hundred of them are halfway up your pant leg so one of them can give the signal so they can all bite at the same time. I don't see any way of getting rid of these little guys, but I can say that since they showed up, the Fire Ants are GONE. The Argentine Ants are the Fire Ants enemy and did a fine job of wiping them out.
try baking soda it is a base and should neutralize the ants fomic acid bite
Abaco fire ants are ants that live in the Bahamas. They will only live where vegetation is. The bite of a fire ant is very serious and can cause a poisonous reaction for days.
A fire ant would bite you leaving either a bad rash or a spot wich will itch and be sore. =[
Yes ... they do. All ants are female except a few males who are there to inseminate the queen/queens during mating. All ants bite when needed to defend the nest and there are some ants (soldiers) who have special abilities when doing so. Some soldier ants have large and powerful jaws to crush other ants while others have the ability to squirt formic acid at enemy ants when fighting. Yes ... female ants do bite and I can tell you from experience it can be quite painful.
