    We have a friend from around Austin TX who says that the fire ants have killed about everything else.  There are no reptiles, no amphibians, no birds, just fire ants.  . . .

That's interesting.  I wonder if the fire ants might make it easier to garden, what with them attacking all the other things that want to eat your plants.  Do they damage the plants, much?
