Humor Ants Declared War

So I climbed on top of my pile to shovel a hole in the center and I felt a sting on my ankle. They were all over my pants and all the way up to my thighs. Jumped off the pile, frantically started stripping my pants, socks and shoes off.

Now it is war. Hopefully the neighbors didn’t see much. 😂

Now that's a stroke of luck. Now you don't have to do anything but draw from the pile when you need it. Ants in your pile is the best.

Fire ants are awful. I abandoned a compost pile entirely because of them.

Luckily I don't have them where I live. Or maybe I do and just have been lucky. Who can say?
