Default Fire ants...yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm clearing some land for another building. There is an OLD pine tree stump pretty close to where I'm working. Stump is about two to three feet in diameter I had some trees cut down and the stumps ground out. The stump grinder man attempted to grind this one. No go. It's petrified. Well, I hit it with the tractor bucket by accident. It moved. When I see it move, I said to myself "you can dig that bitch out". So I start digging. Get down a foot or so and hit some big roots. I get out the sawzall, get down on the ground and start cutting. Got three of them cut before the first attack. About a thousand of them little bitches had crawled in my boots, up my pant leg, in my socks, under my T-shirt, and in both gloves. The main guy sent the attack signal, and damn they did! I got bit so many times I can't count them all. The bites look like small puss filled pimples and they HURT!. I'm out in the yard tearing all my clothes off to kill em. Then I get dressed and try again, only being careful not to crawl around on the ground. Didn't work. The bitchs got me again. This time I hauled ass into the shop and stripped. They were ALL over me again!!! Got them cleaned off, went back to work. After a couple of minuets, those bastards got me again! They were in my gloves. A hundred of them.
