Fire ants have invaded are area of North Carolina. I don't recall seeing a single colony last year in Randolph County. They seem to be everywhere this year. It doesn't take much to get them riled up. These along the Thornburg Trail in Uwharrie National Forest could easily swarm an unsuspecting hiker's leg. I just touched the mound with my hiking stick and within 2 seconds, there were dozens of ants swarming the area I touched. So it would not take much. Maybe the first hiker walks on through, but the second gets to experience the ants' bites.
