2. • Colonies were accidentally introduced into
the United States in the 1930s. Cargo
ships from Brazil docking at Mobile,
Alabama unloaded goods infested with the
Red Imported Fire Ants. They have since
spread to the coastal plain and piedmont
of almost all of the southeastern states, as
well as into California.
