Yup, that's my backyard. Click on the map link and you'll find my name at the bottom. I'm about to go out and mow the trails today....ick. Stevie's (Vaughn) mom gave us the money for that bridge.


I hear you about the fire ants. We don't have horny toads or quail because of the little monsters, both very plentiful at one time. The only good things about them are that they helped persuade me to try hammocks and the scorpion population has dropped. A scorpion sting feels about the same as a fire ant and I've never been covered in scorpions (many times ants! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />)....so maybe thats not a plus.
Our church broadcasts bait a few times a year which has kept them off the grounds.

I've been to many picnics and church events where fireants caused problems, especially with toddlers. It's horrible hearing little kids scream once an attack has begun, and then the aftermath a couple days later. Fire ants can put you in the hospital. They even find old folks in their beds, who can't fight 'em off.
