While it’s a common expectation for airplane travel to be delayed — most people don’t think a hold-up could be caused by fire ants. Not only do you have fire ants devastating your lawn, they are trying to ruin your vacation!

According to MSNBC.com, “When a flight crew boarded a plane from Mexico City, the pilots turned on the air and thousands of fire ants were blown through the air vents. They apparently crawled from the cargo hold into the ventilation system.”

Exterminators were summoned and five hours later, the plane was on its way. With all these little fire ants creeping around, it’s best to keep some Over ‘n Out^® Fire Ant Killer on hand.  While it's not a good idea to use it on airplanes, it's strongly recommended for your yard!
