Deadly Needle Ants in Arkansas?!

Just when you thought fire ants were bad, meet the Asian needle ant—now spotted in Arkansas! These tiny, brown-black ants pack a sting that can trigger severe allergic reactions, even anaphylaxis. They love hiding in mulch, leaf litter, and under rocks. Experts say prevention is key, so keep an eye out and call pest control if you spot them. If you get stung, wash up and watch for allergic symptoms. These ants are less aggressive than fire ants, but their sting is no joke! #ArkansasNews #InvasiveSpecies #NeedleAnt #Pets
