The article specified that "Unfortunately, the ants also like to suck the
moisture from plants". All the grass and weeds immediately in the front
of
the house in fall seemed to have died from lack of water. Whereas, the
rest
of the yard was fine. I did notice numerous small orange colored ants on
the ****ch the past few days. They were bigger than fleas, another link
said
they are same size as fleas. Looked similar to "sugar ants" my
grandmother
called them. I've seen no fire ants in the vicinity of the front of the
house as matter of fact.
I checked here with a picture of said culprits:

Haven't seen these.
No grubs in the ground either.
Really strange.
