Venomous fire ants found in Nagoya port

i am too scared to leave my room now.

Ants, etc can feed up a Queen when needed.

According to Nagoya Port Authority, seven ants were spotted on the side of a container and exterminated with pesticide Tuesday.

Seven? I thought they were talking about a colony or something. Unless there is a queen, then there's probably no chance of them breeding.

One thing they sting like all hell but dont bite much later im on anti convulsion tablets and other pills . The fire ants just die and so do mosquitoes So fire ants dont bite Epileptics

I saw that, pretty neat.

Worth a watch. Molten aluminum down a fire ant colony.

Oh dear. More nasty biting things to fret over. I used to think at least Japan doesn't have as many insect/arachnid deplorables as Australia but apparently the redback spider has been found here, as well. Dang.

The invasion has begun.

The container arrived June 23 from Nansha port in Guangzhou, China -- the same departure port for the container carrying the fire ants discovered in western Japan.

I guess China is and will be doing everything to trouble Japan.

This is trouble. I hope they get this under control ASAP.
