Did you know
- TriviaRed imported fire ants, though they are plentiful in Texas, were not used in this movie. Instead, whenever live ants are used, Harvester ants stood in. "It's hard to procure fire ants," director Carolyn Banks explains, "but Harvester ants, which are often fed to pet lizards, are available online." She adds that Harvester ants have a powerful sting, "but unlike fire ants, they don't all sting you at the same time."

Will Leave You Crawling- To Find a Barf-Bag!
Small-town Texas is rife with genetically modified "fire ants" which are the product of- you guessed it- a Mad Scientist (Myrmecologist, to be exact) who is bent on the destruction of certain colleagues and townsfolk in order to realize his greedy purposes. A lanky English professor and his entomologist love interest (who become romantic in scenes that can only be described as 'uncomfortable') are heroes as they thwart the evil scientist's plans. The scariest things about this movie included the cast, plot, dialog, and special effects. The ant footage actually offers a welcome escape from everything else! Naturally, you'd be asking "Why, then, did you watch the WHOLE thing?" Answer: If you like to sit with a bowl of popcorn and mock really BAD movies, this will be a treat!
