Fire ants are more of a problem than red ants. Fire ants grow in mounds of varying sizes. The bites are very painful and if standing directly in a bed there can be many of bites, which can be dangerous. If you don't know what a fire ant bed looks like just google fire ant beds. There are some excellent pictures which will help you identify them.
