Hah! They are already here (Texas) and have been here for quite awhile. It
tends to be much easier to kill those bastards than termites...

Dont worry when the fire ants make it to your side of the country you
wont be worried about termites anymore. I have a couple of close friends in the
exterminating business. Let
me tell you, there's NOTHING that's truely effective on termites
anymore since the EPA took Clorodane off the market. The replacement
chemicals costs over $80/gallon (wholesale!) and you have to use it
full strength instead of dilluting it. Even then it is marginal and
the area has to be retreated every two years.
Score another success for the bugs and the EPA!
And the lumber industry...gotta keep us buying more wood... Maybe the
lumber industry paid for the EPA studies? ;)
I think my next home will be made of concrete block.
