FIRE ANTS
If someone suspects they
have found fire ants, they should call the
California Department of Food and Agriculture hotline
1-888-4 FIRE ANT to report the find.
This will get the information to the appropriate agency
(in OC, the agency is the Orange County Fire Ant Authority)
and a protocol of no-charge treatment and tracking will begin.
You are right on about the need for moisture, but many of our natural
wetlands and riparian areas are just to their liking
