My area must be the equal opportunity of them all. I have termites, fire
ants AND carpenter ants. South Louisiana, home of all the bugs.

IF you live in an area with fire ants, you don't have termites.
Carpenter
ants are another story tho.
I live in socal and recently layed down a couple of termite infested boards
alongside the tablesaw (the saw on rollers, outside) when it came time to
cleanup, I noticed there was a huge train of argentine ants making their way
through the holes in the lumber cut by the termites. They were dragging them
out whole. Almost made me happy to see one pest wiping out the other. Now if
I can train them to go to the fence alongside my house and get the termites
there..... Pat
