Like Argentine ants versus/vs. red imported fire ants (RIFAs). I will take Argentine ants species.

These guys can burn down homes but don't bite? Omnivores? Screw that.
One word....
Chlorodane.

EPA can't prove it causes a substantial risk of cancer in humans and it kills everything for 20+years. US still manufactures it for export, banned since 88', but they'll let Monsanto do what the fuck it wants to litigate humans out of what they can grow and what they can or can't use to kill weeds or bugs? Retarded to let it stand.

Those things are kind of awesome, when exposed to fire ant venom, they can detoxify themselves using a specialized butt gland full of soothing formic acid. (which is only really soothing when you're covered in alkaloid fire ant venom).

Only way to stop this will be to mobilize an army of kids with magnifying glasses, and pray for sunny days.
