    'Start killing them fast': Dangerous critters flood typhoon-stricken homes

    I don't know if it will work with fire ants but it will with little ants. If they are very close to your house or other building you can put talcum powder at windows, doors etc. Ants don't like it getting on them because it is slippery and they won't attempt to walk across it. If you have...

    ‘My arm lit up like a Christmas tree’: Woman's shocking encounter with nature’s power

    Those identified should be charged. They put innocent volunteers at risk saving their lives if they get themselves into difficulties. They only time they should be walking in water is if they have no other way to evacuate.
