fireantsRobert Higgins from Thompson Rivers University will be giving an information session this Wednesday on the European fire ant, a nasty stinging nuisance that has been spotted at several locations in Chilliwack.
Higgins says most of the times when the ant shows up it’s been moved there by us, and people should be careful when buying potted plants from the store.

“They should bang the pot before they remove it from the store, and look to see if any ants come to the surface in response to that disturbance.  If they see any ants at all, they should not be bringing it home.”

The info session will be at Chilliwack Senior Secondary Wednesday and starts at 7 PM.
