Why there's no need to worry about the electricity-loving crazy killer ants

Yes, it's another wildlife sumer scare story. This time they're from Argentina, carry bacteria, walk erratically - and are pretty harmless

It sounds like the plot of an animal horror B movie: a gigantic plague of flesh-eating "crazy ants" from Argentina invades the city of Birmingham. High on electricity and engorged with salmonella, the psycho killers attack livestock and gnaw through wires to causes fires in overpopulated towerblocks. They. Are. Coming. For. You.

So - more or less - go recent news reports of the latest UK wildlife summer scare story (TM), following an alert issued by Basis Prompt, a pest controllers registry, that tropical ants are invading the country.
