“Watch where ya walk.” Wendy said carefully, pointing down at the sidewalk. Looking down, Sarah noticed that small mounds of red dirt had erupted from one of the cracks. “Ants?” She asked. “Fire ants.” Wendy corrected. “Step on the hill, ‘n the suckers’ll be right up on ya. You do _not_ want them bitin’ ya.” Sarah nodded slowly before stepping over the line of mounds. “So, do we need to put up signs or tell people about them?” She asked Wendy, who was walking with her. “Ones on vacation, maybe. Most everyone around here knows about ‘em. They’re about everywhere.”
