Show Notes
Wendell Park in North Carolina is facing an ant invasion, with millions of Eastern mound ants, or Formica integra, taking over. These ants, while not stinging, spray acid that causes skin irritation. The problem has escalated over a decade, affecting various park areas. Town officials and entomologists are working together to study the issue and reduce the population through bait traps, aiming to restore balance without eradicating the species entirely.
