I hate ants. I've successfully kept them out of my house for about a a year, but erradicating them from my yard has been a losing battle. Maybe next year.
Free DDT!!!

The hairy, reddish-brown creatures are known as "crazy rasberry ants"
Good job Texas. Can you imagine if Adam were a Texan? "I call this thing a 'loco taco bell dog'. And these primates over here, these are 'flaming red butt monkeys'."

"And when you do kill these ants, the survivors turn it to their advantage: They pile up the dead, sometimes using them as a bridge to cross safely over surfaces treated with pesticide."

We haven't had them around my place in noticeable numbers. But I live about 50 miles across town from the areas mentioned. But my parents aren't that far.
