Of the more than 280 fire ants species in the world, the Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA) is the most common one in the U.S., having been imported in cargo ships from South America in the 1930s. 

The FDA estimates that RIFAs cause approximately $750M in damage to agricultural assets, livestock loss, and crop loss each year, with more than $5B being spent annually on various fire ant control measures.
