I have a research project for work on this topic. A person moved from Florida to Massachusetts because of a severe allergic reaction to fire ant bites. Thanks for any help you can provide. Sheila Tallahassee, FL RESPONSE: Fire ants are moving. There is a 20% increase in infested areas every year. We should have 360-380 hundred million acres of U. S. territory infested this year. We know know they can survive in colder areas than we originally thought possible, but I do not believe they have hit Massachusetts yet. These ants are easy to control if you stop relying on useless pesticide poisons.
