Sigh. Gets so old explaining to this retard. The reason for this thread and the reason it's funny is because S. American fire ants have been discovered in Italy and experts are predicting their spread throughout Europe.

It's funny that Italy celebrates Columbus because... FIRE ANTS !!!!

Got it.

the plan right now is to eradicate them. They have found 88 nests so far. they are going to start a campaign to educate locals and attempt to kill them all before they populate and spread

Europe, I highly recommend this:

Well hell. I heard Italy. Turns out they are near Syracuse on Sicily. Surely the Italians can stop them on an island. But we are talking Italians.

yep. sicily. but the people there have been complaining of ant bites since 2019 and it took 3 years to confirm it was fire ants. and they import lots of crop stuff (olives, etc) from sicily to several europe countries. i'm sure they have already hitched rides all over the place.

You are probably right. Like I said, this Columbian Exchange has been going on for 500+ years.

When I lived in Austin in the late 80's/ 90's, they were bad. Not so much now a days. Even here this far South, we are at the very edge of where they can survive.

Wasnt there a thing with "killer bees" too a few years back (not the "murder hornets")?

Yeah, some East African honey bees were imported into Brazil in the 50's. Several swarms escaped, and they have moved north, interbreeding with the American honey bee. They are pretty aggressive. I've seen several beekeeper videos where they get one of the hybrid queens by accident and the worker bees are just insane in the way they attack.

Usually, they can just replace the queen with a non-africanized one and the problem will resolve in a few weeks as the crazy bees die off. I did see one video where the beekeeper killed the entire hive since they were so bad.

They aren't. That's just where they have been found. From my experience here (less than 100 miles from Mexico), a couple of years of drought or unusual cold Winters, and they get hammered bad. The only place I see them here are places that run sprinkler systems.
