Ants are everywhere -- in forests, fields, swamps, deserts, suburbs, and cities. There are probably at least a few in your house. Most aren't dangerous, but certain species -- including fire ants and army ants -- can have lethal effects on humans and animals. Discover fascinating facts about these killer ants: where they can be found, how they organize their colonies, and the methods of controlling their damage.
