How do you get rid of cow killer ants and what do you do if they bite you If you find one is there a colony and how do you get rid of them?

"Cow Killer" ants are really wingless wasps also known as "Velvet Ants" or by their scientific name "Mutillidae."

They do live in colonies and treatment for any type of sting by these wasps is the same as any other wasp sting.

They are called cow killers because they sting is so painful, that it could kill a cow.

I have these all around my house, and we cannot seem to get rid of them. As long as you don't bother them, they will leave you alone. Although the flying male cow killers are intimidating. they wont hurt you.
