WATCH: Imported fire ants reported in Southeastern Virginia

A man in Prince George County, Virginia, has discovered imported fire ants, which agricultural officials say are invasive and can be dangerous to children and small animals.

The insects are aggressive toward anyone who disturbs their mounds — which look like piles of dirt. And their bites can pack a punch.

If someone spots an imported fire ant, they can report it to Plant Industry Services at the Virginia’s Department of Agriculture online.
