Yes: Agree w dr. Sojico. You may not see the mounds. Be cautious if walking or working around areas covered by pine needles or other ground cover. Be especially careful when lifting up objects which have been in place for a while as there may be mounds or ants beneath them. One ant can sting you repeatedly. If covered w ants a fairly high powered hose can help to spray them off.
