South American Ants Ruin Football Game

They may look small, but they are so powerful that they could win over a football team without even playing. No, they are not team of super players. They are a big gang of pests coming all the way from South America to this Southern Californian School and setting up colonies on the field. Now who dares to face the fire ants and ask them to move away? The school faced the same problem. They could do nothing about them and just cancelled the scheduled football match. These ants were discovered by a groundskeeper last week. These venomous red pests have set up several mound-like colonies on school’s football and baseball fields. The state department of Agriculture was consulted immediately. They could not figure it out on how they could travel and reach there. Probably no airlines or railways would dare to give them a lift. Must be some player on the underdog side of the football team have imported them. But entomologists say that this should be treated seriously.
