Disturb it? I'm sorry but you fucking destroyed it

I go out with a shovel and scoop an ant mound and put it on another ant mound. Instant war

Why did I watch this in bed at night?

I tried filming one of these. I dropped my camera and couldn't get it back. I came back a week later to find they built into the camera.

Those ants come from a broken home.

I think we need some molten aluminum.

I remeber one time i was playing paintball in the woods and i nieled down in one of those giant fire ant piles. I ended up getting the shit stung out of me and i jumped up to get them off then all of a sudden i get hit by like 30 paintballs coming out of no where. It was one of the most horrible experiences of my life

i learned that i shouldn't kick any convenient dirt pile while wearing sandals or i will meet my demise

US Foreign Policy

Those ants are like "dude do u know how long it takes us to build this shit??""

These ant videos make me itchy

People don't realize fire ants are an invasive species and we're already making efforts to reduce their population lmao

fun fact: all of the ants in the world combined weigh more than all the humans

If he slipped and fell on it I would die of laughter

That cricket hoping around probably thought what the hell did i get myself into lol.

Child gets shot nobody bats an eye. Guy destroys anthill and everyone loses their shit.

Lol Those Ants must have beat the shit out of the Stick when the guy left 😂

I had a giant mound of ants in my backyard so I just poured gasoline in there and lit it

Just dig a nest and throw a grenade in it before they come out and run. *gains one star*

Jesus fuck imagine mistaking that mound for a small innocent sand pile and covering up both of your bare feet with it just to realize thousands of bites after taking your feet out :(

Pouring extremely salty water really gets fire ants even more pissed than just making holes in the mound.

you people are pissed on him. Then why would no one say shjt about the guy who pour liquid aluminum in ant nest to make a casting ?

Hairspray and lighter...

Fun fact: fire ants aren't native to the US, but they were brought here in the 20's due to poor shipping practices by companies, and they have cause major ecological damage, so you would be helping the environment by actively hunting and killing any red ant mounds you see

Dammit, you should've tried making an aluminum casting of it

That's not disturbing....that's actually destroying a fire ant mound.

In Texas we just call those ants.

Build a wall

Want to see a hell of a fight? Take a shovelful from one anthill and throw it in another hill that you stirred up.

Gasoline. You don't even have to light it.

When the ants started pouring out I suddenly got itchy

Hey now, starving kids in China could have eaten those ants.

I watched the movie "the ant bully" when I was younger. That was the end of my ant hill destroying days..

Sad to say those are only average sized hills, fire ant hills can get as big as a vw bug cars. In Texas they are a part of everyday life, and we all hate them.

When I was doing compulsory military service in South West Africa (Namibia) Their was a quite large ant species that would actually attack the burning end of of cigarette stump I threw down.

A nest of them got on my foot once when I lived in Texas. What a wonderful introduction to Fire Ants. What's worse is it only takes one to get on you. They are extremely aggressive. Plus they carry off their dead.

Jeezus man, I was watching this at home and thought I actually felt one crawling on me! LOL

I'd say these ants could probably take over the world if their mound got to be the size of a Roman Empire. Just Amazing.

The mounds we have in South Africa are litterely half as big as a grown man!

They are pure evil, you learn quick to stir clear of the mounds when you're little.

You know what would be funny? Whacking those ant hills with a golf club.

Apparently every other ignorant tree hugger doesn't understand that One, ants have no nerves and are not sentient, they can't feel, emotionally or physically, and two, fire ants are an invasive species in the majority of the americas, their presence there is harming the local ecosystem. So stop whining and watch the damn video. Edit: As pointed out by PrincessJessie99, ants do indeed have a nervous system, i am incorrect as far as that statement goes, they do not however, have pain receptors and therefore do not feel pain. As far as sentience, i believe after further looking into the matter, that ant do have some level of sentience. However, whether they have the capacity for emotions is unknown, and based on their form of communication via pheromones, and their VERY basic capacity to perform assigned roles in a colony with no ability to deviate from said role. I'd say it's very likely that no, they do not have emotions like most mammals.

The best way to kill a fire ant hill it to take a pressure washer and carve the hill till it's a hole filled with water, and while your doing this have a peice of rebar heating in a fire, then stick the rebar in the water, and you get instant boiled fire ants, in case you can't tell, I don't like fire ants very much.

Found out I was allergic to these things when I was stationed in Texas.

Yup, I'll just stay up here in Michigan!

Those ants are pissed, and fearless! The queen ant is probably issuing the command "Off with his head!" in ant language.

When I was little, my dad would go out into our backyard with a shovel. He would scoop up the anthill, then fling it over our fence and into the pond that was behind our house.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this is visually pleasing

6,000 people must want a bed of fire ants running around in their house....

Leave a trail of sugar between two hills and they'll fight to the death

bought "farmland" in Texas. had fireants. saw a calf get up on a mound & went from white to red being swarmed in less than a minute. They killed that calf & stripped it to bones in a few days. fought ants w raid, gasoline, Amdro, explosives. Nothing worked til we called in professionals. Whatever they used, worked! Saw a flood take out a nest but ants formed into an interlocking ball & simply floated away in flood, theoretically to recolonize where ever that "ball" floated to. Was told by exterminator they travel by water w multiple queens inside ball unaffected. Amazing critters but spooky.

I sat on one when I was 8. Not a good idea.

Just imagine if he covered the whole thing with a gallon of gas XD R.I.P. Fire Ants ????-2014

Next time drop a hillary sign in one

Pour molten metal down it and create a great cast masterpiece of art once you dig it up!

Still remember the very first time I ever encountered a fire ant mound. Was 7, playing fetch with the dog in the yard. ball landed in an ant mound and the dog started barking at the ants...obviously he knew what they were. Me, I had only seen black ants before and figured they're harmless and picked up the ball...they were all over my hand. So bad I didn't go to school for three days.

I bet there like "oh come one it took us 6 months to build this!"

just me thinking?: RUN YOU IDIOT RUUUUN!!

Pour molten aluminum down the top. Makes a cool sculpture.

dump a gallon of hot wax in them.

shoulda stuck one pipe into one hill connecting to the other. you'd have war!

So silver prices, then ammo videos, some how I ended up here. Well at least I didn't end up watching UFO videos.

Should find another one and pour boiling water onto it.

Once when I was at school me and two of my friends were playing Pokemon (like, pretending to be trainers) and I stood in an anthill for like 5 minutes. I was screaming cuz it hurt so bad and so one of my friends got the teachers and my shoes were FILLED. The next day I went to the same ant hill with the same friends, grabbed a big stick, and destroyed the entire ant hill :D

who else started itching during the video

thank God this ants don't live in my country

i sense a hippie typing in the comments "OMG WHY DID YOU DO THAT ANTS ARE HUMANS TOO YOU KNOW?"

now imagine all those mounds being interconnected up to 10 feet below ground level.

fire ants are not gonna die by fire they only die when they got rain

Thank you for all the people who posted defensive comments towards the ants. Im sure they feel so much better now, knowing that you care!

I got destroyed by a colony when I was younger. I still get shivers thinking about it

we have these super bad in Georgia, I joke all the time that georgia is just one giant anthill. I always enjoyed writing my name in them as a child, my name would stay there until it rained.

I'm in Texas and I thought that fire ants were here to stay. We recently had a new species of ants move in called crazy ants. They are an enemy of fire ants and they have moved the fire ants out of my back yard. I have been very happy to welcome the crazy ants in the yard, they have not been aggressive like fire ants. Enjoyed your video, glad that isn't in my yard.

I'm in NC there's a lot of these mounds all around

When in the South, beware the fire ant. Any time you stop in an open, grassy place, look down. May sure you haven't disturbed a mound. They tend to cover their prey (your foot and leg) and then make a coordinated attack via chemical trigger.

The dislikes are the angry fire ants.

In North Florida up to Middle Georgia it is common to see fields that are covered with hundreds of these mounds as far as you can see. About 10 feet apart. Older cows know not to step in them. Calves can die if they do. In North Georgia(Atlanta area) the mounds are made of red clay and it is very sticky. Step in one and the dirt (with ants) sticks to you. In North Florida the mounds are made of sand and are not quite so sticky as the red clay. In South Florida frequently the sand won't pile up into a mound. So you can be standing on a nest and not even know it for about 10 seconds. The bites burn like a cigarette at first. Then becomes an itchy red welt that takes up to a week to subside. In 10 seconds just about when you realize your mistake you can be bitten two dozen times. And for the next week you use up an entire tube of hydrocortisone. But a prescription for triamcinolone is better. And for the rest of your 2 week vacation you find yourself afraid to step off the sidewalk anywhere you go. And if you get sunburned on top of the fire ant bites you will wish to be put to sleep for the rest of the vacation.

The moment the ants came out i threw my phone across the room and started brushing my skin as if theres ants on it

I'm allergic to ants, so just watching this is giving me chills and I am beginning to itch

When I was four years old me and my parents were visiting my grandparents in South Mississippi. I didn’t know what a fire ant bed looked like. I set down on one thinking it was just a mound of dirt. I spent three days in the hospital.

where are the people with the molted aluminum when you need them?

ew somehow I feel itchy right now..

Was bitten on the foot by a fire ant that had strayed into the garage - it was incredibly painful. The burning sensation continued for days. You DO NOT want these on your property.

Fire ants Vs Liquid Nitrogen. Put a big funnel in the top of the mound and let em freeze!

Although this kind of ant is a pest, I still find beautiful the way they build their homes...

This guy sounds like his IQ is about 86. Grown man says "kazillion". As he's destroying fire ant mounds that aren't threatening him in any way. We have these all over Texas. Their bite stings and itches but that's about it. They are a nuisance. When I find a mound in my yard I boil hot water and pour it all over them. Kills them but also kills that patch of grass. Spectracide is good to put down on my yard a few times a year but even still sometimes they'll pop up.

After living in Florida for 18 years, I know fire ants very well. I used grits, half cup of grits on each mound, they eat & feed their queen, the grits swell up & kill them. Or pour gasoline in the mound & burn it. I must say the grits worked better.

A bit of advice, this worked for me, I had fire ant mounds in my backyard garden. All I did was to spray my entire backyard, back of house, patio, yard, fence, all of it with a mixture of lemon liquid dish washing soap and listerine mouthwash. That is all. Within a week the mounds were abandoned and all was well. I have used this trick once more and I have no fire ants at all. Works great. Should work just as well with regular ants as well.

I remember when I was 5 , 100's of ants climbed up my leg I thought they LIKED ME 😂😂😂😂😂👌🤗

thats good fishing bait, take a peice of clear tape and get about 5 on there, fold the tape over a hook, and the fish love the small, and eat it

I grew up in Mississippi and we'd have fire ant hills that were twice that size! They'd pop up over night! I'd get a stick and slice through it so that I could see all of their tunnels.

me:call the hulk hulk: hulk smash ants:attack hulk:oh shit

We have huge around 2meter high ant hill here, in our forest, but we leave them.. they eat mosquito eggs/poisonous bugs (we have loads of them) the colony is 2-3 years old, specie is unknown but the ants are 2-2,5 cm of size, sting and have ussualy blue and red stripes on their thorax

It’s called lighter fluid and a match😂😂

Reminds me of my childhood. But, breaking the mound was too easy. I used to try and get them out without touching it. I would stomp the ground near it. Also, I would try to rouse them by crouching down really close to the mound and yelling super loudly, things like, "HEEYYYYYY, AAANNTS!!!"

Take a shovel, scoop some fire ants from one mound and dump them on another. They think they are being invaded and will kill each other. I have done this on dozens of fire ant mounds.

Something is on my leg...

when I was four one of these was in my preschool and in the sand so it blended in, being the asshole child I was I wanted to "_ruin someone's sandcastle_" but I instead I got a bunch of fucking little red ants all over my entire body

I remember back when I lived in Texas my parents accidently put a blanket on top of a fire ant hill. It was supposed to be a place where my sister (she was about 2 or 3 back then) could lay down. It was a nightmare. She couldn't even open and close her hands they were so swollen. I think I was left at home while they took her to the doctor, so I don't know what they did, but she was covered in red bumps for like 2 weeks.

When i was young i didn't know these hills are ants nest. I accidentally crashed my bike on it and it was crawling everywhere! plus it was evening and i couldn't really see anything until i realize something is biting my legs.... I can still remember that feeling, scary shit...
