Needle Ants Are Here—And They Bite!

Carnivorous Asian needle ants are spreading fast across the East Coast, and their stings feel like a needle jab! These tiny invaders are peaking in July and August, hiding in gardens, mulch, and even parks. Most people only notice them after a painful sting—sometimes even dangerous for those with allergies. Unlike other ants, they don’t leave trails, so finding their nests is nearly impossible. If you’re gardening, watch out—these ants mean business! #InvasiveSpecies #NeedleAnts #BugAlert #Pets
