Here in SW Texas we sometime have sink holes form from old ant mounds (the big red ants). They sometime cave in under a tractor tire. Recently my neighbor dug a 10 foot deep ditch with his backhoe in an area where an old mound had been about six years ago. He showed me the sides of the ditch. From about 5 feet deep all the way to the bottom, the sides were honeycombed with voids the size of watermellons. All the ants were gone. I never realized that mounds went so deep and were so big. It explains why the ants are so hard to kill and why a front tractor tire can collapse one. If you could train the ants to dig storm cellers you could make a bundle!
