    Backstory with this, is there?

    No, Drip, they are tiny ants.

    Slappy, I'd heard it from others before but didn't believe it. They're just cute, little ladybugs, right?

    WRONG!!

    One of those little fuckers bit me one time, and it really hurt. I've also heard of a swarm of them biting someone if they have messed with their massive gathering.

    You sure they weren't just licking the sweat off? Not being a smartass, but read that somewhere...

    Lady bugs aren't ladies. They do bite.
    KG, never had a serious problem with the tiny ants. I would think any pesticide should do the trick. Black Flag and Real Kill always worked for me with bugs.

    Where the hell do y'all live where you have biting ladybugs?

    Shouldn't they be called bitchbugs if they bite? Or MarvAlbertBugs?

    The South. And the ones that bite are Asian Ladybugs. They are more like brownish in color.

    Brown, orange, who cares? They aren't ladies. In fact, I've had those little ladies fly up an attack on a few occasions.

    We just had an ant infestation too. Try putting boric acid around where they're coming in. The idea is that they tramp it back to their nests and the whole bunch of them dehydrate.

    Great for roaches too, especially those big brown fuckers south of the Mason-Dixon that love to fight back.

    I looked at it in my garage, just for you KG. It's called Terro, and it controls sweet-eating ants. It's an orange box. It worked great. Good luck.
