The fire ants came to use by ship from S. America in the same uninvited 
way. And don't expect much success. The only thing that seems to even 
slow them down is cold weather.

We also got "Africanized" killer bees much the same way. If you'd like 
we could perhaps send a load of them also :-D

Ain't globalization wonderful!
